About GLOBALSTAR M004
GLOBALSTAR M004 is a satellite from GLOB, launched on Feb 14, 1998 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.
It circles Earth every 114 minutes (12.6 times a day), between 1,406 and 1,411 km up, on an orbit tilted 52.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 52° 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 22 days its lowest point went from 1,407 km to 1,406 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
