About COSMOS 2455

COSMOS 2455 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Nov 20, 2009 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 103 minutes (14.0 times a day), between 899 and 909 km up, on an orbit tilted 67.1° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 67° 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 24 days its lowest point went from 899 km to 899 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
