About GOES 17
GOES 17 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Mar 1, 2018 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.
It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 90°W, turning with Earth so it stays over the same spot.
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 366 days its lowest point went from 35,774 km to 35,781 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
