About OT-FOREST-17 TELPERION
OT-FOREST-17 TELPERION is a satellite from Germany, launched on May 3, 2026 from Air Force Western Test Range.
It circles Earth every 96 minutes (14.9 times a day), between 584 and 594 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.7° 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 10 days its lowest point went from 584 km to 584 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.
