About RADIATION SAT (5E 1)
RADIATION SAT (5E 1) is a satellite from the United States, launched on Sep 28, 1963 from Air Force Western Test Range.
It circles Earth every 107 minutes (13.5 times a day), between 1,060 and 1,120 km up, on an orbit tilted 90.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 90° north and south.
The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
