About QPS-SAR-5 TSUKUYOMI-I

QPS-SAR-5 TSUKUYOMI-I is a satellite from Japan, launched on Dec 15, 2023 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex.

It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.3 times a day), between 472 and 508 km up, on an orbit tilted 42.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 42° north and south.

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