About SL-23 R/B
SL-23 R/B is a spent rocket stage from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Apr 28, 2008 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.
It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 113°W, turning with Earth so it stays over the same spot.
The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
