About SKIF-D

SKIF-D is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Oct 22, 2022 from Vostochny Cosmodrome.

It circles Earth every 288 minutes (5.0 times a day), between 8,049 and 8,071 km up, on an orbit tilted 89.9° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 90° 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 18 days its lowest point went from 8,049 km to 8,049 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
