About METEOR 3M
METEOR 3M is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Dec 10, 2001 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 105 minutes (13.7 times a day), between 993 and 1,013 km up, on an orbit tilted 99.8° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 80° 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 365 days its lowest point went from 993 km to 993 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.
