XIWANG-1 (HOPE-1)

XIWANG-1 (HOPE-1) is an object launched in 2009 in a low earth orbit, between 1,193 and 1,204 km above the Earth. It completes one orbit every 109 minutes, about 13.2 times a day, on a path tilted 100.4° to the equator. That tilt means it can pass over places as far north and south as 80° latitude.
