About COSMOS 2221

COSMOS 2221 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Nov 24, 1992 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.0 times a day), between 566 and 587 km up, on an orbit tilted 82.5° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° 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 19 days its lowest point went from 567 km to 566 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
