About KOREASAT 6A

KOREASAT 6A is a satellite from South Korea, launched on Nov 11, 2024 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 116°E, turning with Earth so it stays over the same spot.

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 366 days its lowest point went from 35,783 km to 35,783 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
