About R5-S2

R5-S2 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jul 4, 2024 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 93 minutes (15.5 times a day), between 409 and 430 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.2° 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 411 km to 409 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
