About SICH 2

SICH 2 is a satellite from UKR, launched on Aug 17, 2011 from Orenburg, Russia.

It circles Earth every 98 minutes (14.7 times a day), between 665 and 684 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.9° 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.
