About MERIDIAN 11
MERIDIAN 11 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Apr 3, 2026 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 718 minutes (2.0 times a day), between 1,334 and 39,023 km up, on an orbit tilted 62.8° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 63° north and south.
The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
