About CANX-6

CANX-6 is a satellite from Canada, launched on Apr 28, 2008 from Sirharikota.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.0 times a day), between 547 and 563 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.9° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 82° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
