About SENTINEL-6B

SENTINEL-6B is a satellite from the European Space Agency, launched on Nov 17, 2025 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 112 minutes (12.8 times a day), between 1,332 and 1,344 km up, on an orbit tilted 66.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 66° 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 11 days its lowest point went from 1,332 km to 1,332 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
