About SENTINEL 3B

SENTINEL 3B is a satellite from the European Space Agency, launched on Apr 25, 2018 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 101 minutes (14.3 times a day), between 802 and 803 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.6° 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.
