Satellite passes over Rio de Janeiro.
-22.9068°, -43.1729° · America/Sao_Paulo
Ephem tracks every active LEO object above Rio de Janeiro in real time using the CelesTrak active catalog propagated with SGP4. For interactive passes, use the overhead map; for scheduling, use the tables below or subscribe via the developer API.
§1 Expected coverage windows
These are geometric windows — the physically possible pass time each day for a satellite at the constellation's nominal shell, averaged over a year, given the city's latitude. Real passes depend on the exact TLE, the object's orbital phase, and local elevation mask.
| Provider | Shell | Coverage character at this latitude |
|---|---|---|
| Starlink | 550 km | 6–10 short passes per day (a few minutes each). |
| OneWeb | 1,200 km | 10–15 passes per day within visibility. |
| Iridium | 780 km | 6–10 short passes per day (a few minutes each). |
| Viasat | 35,786 km | Geostationary — appears fixed above the equator; may be below the horizon at high latitudes. |
§2 Live pass computation
The interactive map computes exact passes for the next 24 h in your browser. It does not need an account, does not phone home per pass, and works offline once the TLE bundle has downloaded.
