About NEXTSAT-2
NEXTSAT-2 is a satellite from South Korea, launched on May 25, 2023 from Naro Space Center, South Korea.
It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.3 times a day), between 475 and 481 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.5° 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 366 days its lowest point went from 490 km to 475 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.
