About ORS 5 SENSORSAT

ORS 5 SENSORSAT is a satellite from the United States, launched on Aug 26, 2017 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.0 times a day), between 556 and 570 km up, on an orbit tilted 0.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 0° north and south.

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

Orbit height over the past year

Over the last 21 days its lowest point went from 556 km to 556 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
