About CUBY-3
CUBY-3 is a satellite from Germany, launched on Jul 7, 2026 from Air Force Western Test Range.
It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.9 times a day), between 591 and 598 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 9 days its lowest point went from 592 km to 591 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.
