About THEOS

THEOS is a satellite from THAI, launched on Oct 1, 2008 from Orenburg, Russia.

It circles Earth every 101 minutes (14.2 times a day), between 824 and 826 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.5° 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.
