About ALSAT 1N

ALSAT 1N is a satellite from ALG, launched on Sep 26, 2016 from Sirharikota.

It circles Earth every 98 minutes (14.7 times a day), between 644 and 682 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.8° 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.
