COSMOS 2278

COSMOS 2278 is an object launched in 1994 in a low earth orbit, between 839 and 850 km above the Earth. It completes one orbit every 102 minutes, about 14.1 times a day, on a path tilted 71.1° to the equator. That tilt means it can pass over places as far north and south as 71° latitude.
