It circles Earth every 744 minutes (1.9 times a day), between 20,545 and 21,103 km up, on an orbit tilted 62.8° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 63° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.

Orbit height over the past year

Over the last 37 days its lowest point went from 20,546 km to 20,545 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
