About STPSAT-5

STPSAT-5 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Dec 3, 2018 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 520 and 524 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.4° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° 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 521 km to 520 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
