About VIGORIDE 5
VIGORIDE 5 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jan 3, 2023 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.
It circles Earth every 91 minutes (15.8 times a day), between 332 and 338 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.3° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° 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 340 km to 332 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.
