KORONAS-FOTON

KORONAS-FOTON is an object launched in 2009 in a low earth orbit, between 415 and 429 km above the Earth. It completes one orbit every 93 minutes, about 15.5 times a day, on a path tilted 82.4° to the equator. That tilt means it can pass over places as far north and south as 82° latitude.
