About ADEOS

ADEOS is a satellite from Japan, launched on Aug 17, 1996 from Tanegashima Space Center.

It circles Earth every 101 minutes (14.3 times a day), between 789 and 792 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.8° 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 21 days its lowest point went from 789 km to 789 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
