About ION SCV-012

ION SCV-012 is a satellite from Italy, launched on Aug 16, 2024 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.0 times a day), between 579 and 584 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.7° 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 15 days its lowest point went from 579 km to 579 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
