About GLOBALSTAR M086

GLOBALSTAR M086 is a satellite from GLOB, launched on Dec 28, 2011 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 114 minutes (12.6 times a day), between 1,412 and 1,415 km up, on an orbit tilted 52.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 52° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
