About ALSAT 3A

ALSAT 3A is a satellite from ALG, launched on Jan 15, 2026 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China.

It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.2 times a day), between 490 and 501 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.4° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.

Over the last 11 days its lowest point went from 489 km to 490 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
