📖 About This Object
ISS (UNITY) is an active satellite operated by United States, launched on 1998-12-04 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. With over 28 years in orbit, it has far exceeded many satellites’ design lifetimes. It orbits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Orbital Radar tracks ISS (UNITY) in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.
🌍 Orbit Context
ISS (UNITY) operates in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), the most accessible and heavily used orbital regime. LEO spans roughly 160 to 2,000 km altitude and contains over 80% of all active satellites. Objects in LEO circle the Earth every 90–120 minutes at speeds exceeding 27,000 km/h, and their relatively low altitude enables high-resolution imaging, low-latency communications and crewed spaceflight.
