About SONATE-2
SONATE-2 is a satellite from Germany, launched on Mar 4, 2024 from Air Force Western Test Range.
It circles Earth every 92 minutes (15.7 times a day), between 357 and 363 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.6° 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.
