About 3CAT-4

3CAT-4 is a satellite from SPN, launched on Jul 9, 2024 from French Guiana.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.0 times a day), between 543 and 575 km up, on an orbit tilted 62.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 62° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
