About LYNK TOWER 5
LYNK TOWER 5 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Mar 4, 2024 from Air Force Western Test Range.
It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.3 times a day), between 462 and 478 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 16 days its lowest point went from 463 km to 462 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.
