About NOAA 19

NOAA 19 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Feb 6, 2009 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 102 minutes (14.1 times a day), between 837 and 858 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.9° 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.
