About PACE

PACE is a satellite from the United States, launched on Feb 8, 2024 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It circles Earth every 98 minutes (14.7 times a day), between 674 and 676 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.1° 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 16 days its lowest point went from 675 km to 674 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
