About ENVISAT

ENVISAT is a satellite from the European Space Agency, launched on Mar 1, 2002 from French Guiana.

It circles Earth every 100 minutes (14.4 times a day), between 761 and 762 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.4° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 82° 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 761 km to 761 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
