About KSM1-A
KSM1-A is a satellite from LUXE, launched on Nov 7, 2020 from Sirharikota.
It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.3 times a day), between 481 and 483 km up, on an orbit tilted 36.9° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 37° 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 20 days its lowest point went from 481 km to 481 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.
