Its orbit in 3D
Goes round Earth once every 93 minutes, on an orbit tilted 53.0° from the equator, between 4,978,521,372 and 5,058,883,292 km up. Earth is drawn to scale.

About GLOBAL-18
GLOBAL-18 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Apr 2, 2022 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex.
It circles Earth every 93 minutes (15.5 times a day), between 409 and 415 km up, on an orbit tilted 53.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 53° 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 413 km to 409 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.
