XMM-NEWTON
XMM-NEWTON is an object launched in 1999 in a highly elliptical orbit, between 29,484 and 91,640 km above the Earth. It completes one orbit every 2,873 minutes, about 0.5 times a day, on a path tilted 63.8° to the equator. That tilt means it can pass over places as far north and south as 64° latitude.
