About KOMPSAT 5

KOMPSAT 5 is a satellite from South Korea, launched on Aug 22, 2013 from Orenburg, Russia.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.0 times a day), between 550 and 556 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.6° 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 366 days its lowest point went from 552 km to 550 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
