About SENTINEL 5P

SENTINEL 5P is a satellite from the European Space Agency, launched on Oct 13, 2017 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 101 minutes (14.2 times a day), between 826 and 828 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.8° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 81° north and south.

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