About CXBN

CXBN is a satellite from the United States, launched on Sep 13, 2012 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.2 times a day), between 447 and 542 km up, on an orbit tilted 64.7° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 65° north and south.

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