About AMOS 5

AMOS 5 is a satellite from ISRA, launched on Dec 11, 2011 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 32°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.
