LASARSAT
LASARSAT is an amateur radio satellite from the Czech Republic, launched on December 21, 2024 from Vandenberg, California, United States. It is in a low orbit, 388 to 402 km above the ground, and goes around the Earth every 92.5 minutes: 15.6 times a day, at 7.67 km/s (27,600 km/h).
Where LASARSAT is right now
The gold ring is its orbit, and the line drops to the point on the ground under it. Inside the white circle it is above the horizon. Drag the globe to turn it, pinch or use the buttons to come closer; the target button brings you back to the satellite. The 2D map shows its path over the ground for the next lap: gold where it is in sunlight, dashed where it is in Earth’s shadow.

Can you see it?
From where
It passes straight overhead only between latitudes 45° north and 45° south, and rises above the horizon as far as about 64°. Nearer the poles than that it is never in the sky.
A satellite shows only when your sky is dark and it is still in sunlight: in the hours after dusk and before dawn.
When it passes over you
The app works out its passes over your exact location, alerts you before one, and leads you to it with an arrow in the camera view.
