About INTERCOSMOS 22

INTERCOSMOS 22 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Aug 7, 1981 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 101 minutes (14.2 times a day), between 784 and 874 km up, on an orbit tilted 81.2° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 81° 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 13 days its lowest point went from 784 km to 784 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
