About STARLING 1

STARLING 1 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jul 18, 2023 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 541 and 548 km up, on an orbit tilted 99.5° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 80° north and south.

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