About RADUGA 1M-2

RADUGA 1M-2 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Jan 28, 2010 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 9°E, turning with Earth so it stays over the same spot.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
