About LUCH (OLYMP)

LUCH (OLYMP) is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Sep 27, 2014 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 96°W, 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.

Over the last 24 days its lowest point went from 36,099 km to 36,098 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
