About BADR B
BADR B is a satellite from PAKI, launched on Dec 10, 2001 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 105 minutes (13.7 times a day), between 983 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 24 days its lowest point went from 983 km to 983 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
