About PADRE
PADRE is a satellite from BGR, launched on Jun 23, 2025 from Air Force Western Test Range.
It circles Earth every 96 minutes (14.9 times a day), between 588 and 591 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.8° 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 13 days its lowest point went from 589 km to 588 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.
