Current orbit

Where Amazonas Nexus is on the world map, with the orbit it is flying
View on live map

One orbit takes a day, as long as the Earth takes to turn, so Amazonas Nexus keeps above 61° W of the equator and never crosses the sky.

Past trackNext orbits

It never rises or sets

Amazonas Nexus turns with the Earth, standing over one longitude of the equator. From anywhere it can be seen at all it is up day and night, in the same direction, so there is no pass to wait for.

No brightness has been published for Amazonas Nexus, so it is not a naked-eye satellite and no city page carries pass times for it. Nothing here estimates one.

Seeing it

There is nothing to wait for: it never crosses the sky. From the half of the Earth it stands over it keeps the same point day and night, and from the other half it never rises at all.
