About KANOPUS-V 6

KANOPUS-V 6 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Dec 27, 2018 from Vostochny Cosmodrome.

It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.4 times a day), between 452 and 454 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.
