About CONTECSAT-1

CONTECSAT-1 is a satellite from South Korea, launched on Mar 4, 2024 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.4 times a day), between 453 and 466 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.

Orbit height over the past year

Over the last 366 days its lowest point went from 466 km to 453 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
