About STARLETTE

STARLETTE is a satellite from France, launched on Feb 6, 1975 from French Guiana.

It circles Earth every 104 minutes (13.8 times a day), between 805 and 1,106 km up, on an orbit tilted 49.8° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 50° 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 805 km to 805 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
