About EARTHCARE

EARTHCARE is a satellite from the United States, launched on May 28, 2024 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 92 minutes (15.6 times a day), between 395 and 397 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° 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 15 days its lowest point went from 395 km to 395 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
