About PLATERO
PLATERO is a satellite from SPN, launched on Nov 11, 2023 from Air Force Western Test Range.
It circles Earth every 91 minutes (15.7 times a day), between 344 and 348 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.4° 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 17 days its lowest point went from 349 km to 344 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.
