POLAR
POLAR is an object launched in 1996 in a highly elliptical orbit, between 5,714 and 52,512 km above the Earth. It completes one orbit every 1,109 minutes, about 1.3 times a day, on a path tilted 80.0° to the equator. That tilt means it can pass over places as far north and south as 80° latitude.
