About FLYING LAPTOP
FLYING LAPTOP is a satellite from Germany, launched on Jul 14, 2017 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.0 times a day), between 549 and 575 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.5° 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.
