About STARS-AO
STARS-AO is a satellite from Japan, launched on Oct 29, 2018 from Tanegashima Space Center.
It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.2 times a day), between 509 and 514 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.0° 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.
