About OCO 2

OCO 2 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jul 2, 2014 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 99 minutes (14.6 times a day), between 702 and 703 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.2° 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.
