What the track shows

Followed for 36 days, from May 2021 to July 2021, across 21 recorded positions.

It ranged between 8°S and 2°S, never leaving the southern hemisphere.

Remarkably, it stayed inside a narrow thermal band the whole time, between 25°C and 27°C.

It averaged 52.7 km a day, every day, across the whole tracking period.

Its last fix was 856 km from its first, so the track we have is a one-way journey rather than a closed loop.
