About GLOBALSTAR M042
GLOBALSTAR M042 is a satellite from GLOB, launched on Apr 15, 1999 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 118 minutes (12.2 times a day), between 1,582 and 1,585 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 23 days its lowest point went from 1,582 km to 1,582 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
From Space-Track element sets, one point a day.
