About NPSAT1

NPSAT1 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jun 25, 2019 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It circles Earth every 98 minutes (14.8 times a day), between 638 and 648 km up, on an orbit tilted 24.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 24° 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 638 km to 638 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
