About KKS-1 (KISEKI)
KKS-1 (KISEKI) is a satellite from Japan, launched on Jan 23, 2009 from Tanegashima Space Center.
It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.8 times a day), between 614 and 623 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.1° 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.
