About COMS 1

COMS 1 is a satellite from South Korea, launched on Jun 26, 2010 from French Guiana.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 57°W, 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.
