About CBERS 1

CBERS 1 is a satellite from CHBZ, launched on Oct 14, 1999 from Taiyaun Space Center, China.

It circles Earth every 100 minutes (14.4 times a day), between 765 and 771 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 24 days its lowest point went from 765 km to 765 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
