About M2 PATHFINDER
M2 PATHFINDER is a satellite from AUS, launched on Jun 13, 2020 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex.
It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 542 and 560 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.8° 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.
Orbit height over the past year
Over the last 21 days its lowest point went from 542 km to 542 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
From Space-Track element sets, one point a day.
