About GMS-T

GMS-T is a satellite from Germany, launched on Jan 20, 2021 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex.

It circles Earth every 109 minutes (13.2 times a day), between 1,194 and 1,201 km up, on an orbit tilted 90.1° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 90° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
