From north to south
Explicación
An ascending pass is one in which the satellite crosses the equatorial plane moving northward, so its ground track carries it from south to north past the observer; the opposite leg of the same orbit is the descending pass, running north to south. West-to-east or east-to-west motion describes the orbit's direction of travel relative to Earth's rotation, not whether a pass is ascending.
