About O3BF03

O3BF03 is a satellite from SES, launched on Apr 28, 2023 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It circles Earth every 288 minutes (5.0 times a day), between 8,057 and 8,075 km up, on an orbit tilted 0.1° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 0° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
