About GNOMES-3

GNOMES-3 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Apr 1, 2022 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.9 times a day), between 605 and 619 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 19 days its lowest point went from 606 km to 605 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
