About DAQI 1

DAQI 1 is a satellite from China, launched on Apr 15, 2022 from Taiyaun Space Center, China.

It circles Earth every 99 minutes (14.6 times a day), between 698 and 703 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.2° 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.
