About PRISMA

PRISMA is a satellite from Italy, launched on Mar 22, 2019 from French Guiana.

It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.8 times a day), between 617 and 619 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.9° 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.
