About XW-3 (CAS 9)
XW-3 (CAS 9) is a satellite from China, launched on Dec 26, 2021 from Taiyaun Space Center, China.
It circles Earth every 100 minutes (14.4 times a day), between 750 and 757 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.5° 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.
