About ASO-S

ASO-S is a satellite from China, launched on Oct 8, 2022 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China.

It circles Earth every 99 minutes (14.5 times a day), between 708 and 729 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.3° 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.
