COSMOS 1953

COSMOS 1953 is an object launched in 1988 in a low earth orbit, between 463 and 480 km above the Earth. It completes one orbit every 94 minutes, about 15.3 times a day, on a path tilted 82.5° to the equator. That tilt means it can pass over places as far north and south as 83° latitude.
