About INTELSAT 3-F3

INTELSAT 3-F3 is a satellite from ITSO, launched on Feb 6, 1969 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It circles Earth every 1,695 minutes (0.8 times a day), between 39,874 and 41,570 km up, on an orbit tilted 9.2° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 9° 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 10 days its lowest point went from 39,875 km to 39,874 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
