About INTASAT

INTASAT is a satellite from SPN, launched on Nov 15, 1974 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 115 minutes (12.5 times a day), between 1,441 and 1,458 km up, on an orbit tilted 102.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 78° 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 12 days its lowest point went from 1,441 km to 1,441 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
