About METEOR 2-9

METEOR 2-9 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Dec 14, 1982 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 102 minutes (14.2 times a day), between 801 and 877 km up, on an orbit tilted 81.3° 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 365 days its lowest point went from 802 km to 801 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
