GLOBALSTAR M065

GLOBALSTAR M065 is an active satellite operated by Globalstar (Globalstar), launched on 2007-05-29 from Baikonur, Kazakhstan. After 19 years in orbit, it continues to be tracked by global surveillance networks. It orbits in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) at altitudes between 1,407 km and 1,422 km with an inclination of 52.0°. It travels at approximately 25,759 km/h (7.16 km/s), completing one full orbit every 114 minutes — that’s roughly 12.62 orbits per day. At its current altitude, the estimated orbital lifetime before atmospheric re-entry is thousands of years. Orbital Radar tracks GLOBALSTAR M065 in real time using the latest two-line element set (TLE) data, providing live position, altitude, speed and orbital path updated continuously.

GLOBALSTAR M065 orbits at an average altitude of 1,415 km in the uppermost reaches of Low Earth Orbit. At this altitude, orbital decay is effectively zero without active deorbiting, and coverage footprints are significantly larger than lower LEO, though at the cost of higher latency. Within ±50 km of GLOBALSTAR M065’s average altitude, there are currently 293 active payloads and 158 tracked debris or rocket body fragments. With an inclination of 52.0°, GLOBALSTAR M065 passes over latitudes between 52.0°N and 52.0°S, covering most populated land masses in both hemispheres. This mid-inclination band balances global coverage with efficient launch energy requirements. Globalstar operates approximately 84 active satellites in total, of which 32 share a similar altitude band with GLOBALSTAR M065.
