About ION SCV-008
ION SCV-008 is a satellite from Italy, launched on Jan 3, 2023 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.
It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.3 times a day), between 467 and 485 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.6° 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 18 days its lowest point went from 467 km to 467 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.
