About ICON

ICON is a satellite from the United States, launched on Oct 11, 2019 from Pegasus launched from Eastern Range Air Space.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 534 and 552 km up, on an orbit tilted 27.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 27° 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 534 km to 534 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
