About EUTELSAT QUANTUM

EUTELSAT QUANTUM is a satellite from EUTE, launched on Jul 30, 2021 from French Guiana.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 48°E, turning with Earth so it stays over the same spot.

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

Over the last 20 days its lowest point went from 35,777 km to 35,777 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
