About ISTSAT-1
ISTSAT-1 is a satellite from POR, launched on Jul 9, 2024 from French Guiana.
It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 514 and 541 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.

Orbit height over the past year
Over the last 7 days its lowest point went from 513 km to 514 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.
