About WORLDVIEW 1

WORLDVIEW 1 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Sep 18, 2007 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.2 times a day), between 491 and 495 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.4° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° 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 492 km to 491 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
