About SWISSCUBE

SWISSCUBE is a satellite from SWTZ, launched on Sep 23, 2009 from Sirharikota.

It circles Earth every 98 minutes (14.6 times a day), between 679 and 690 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.4° 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.

Orbit height over the past year

Over the last 25 days its lowest point went from 680 km to 679 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
