About XSAT

XSAT is a satellite from SING, launched on Apr 20, 2011 from Sirharikota.

It circles Earth every 101 minutes (14.3 times a day), between 798 and 817 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 24 days its lowest point went from 797 km to 798 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
