About ASTROSAT

ASTROSAT is a satellite from India, launched on Sep 28, 2015 from Sirharikota.

It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.8 times a day), between 615 and 627 km up, on an orbit tilted 6.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 6° north and south.

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