About PELICAN-8 300F
PELICAN-8 300F is a satellite from the United States, launched on May 3, 2026 from Air Force Western Test Range.
It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.3 times a day), between 477 and 483 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.3° 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.
Orbit height over the past year
Over the last 10 days its lowest point went from 481 km to 477 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.
