About DMSP 5D-3 F17 (USA 191)
DMSP 5D-3 F17 (USA 191) is a satellite from the United States, launched on Nov 4, 2006 from Air Force Western Test Range.
It circles Earth every 102 minutes (14.2 times a day), between 835 and 850 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.7° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 81° north and south.
The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
Orbit height over the past year
Over the last 24 days its lowest point went from 834 km to 835 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
From Space-Track element sets, one point a day.
