About FENGYUN 1D
FENGYUN 1D is a satellite from China, launched on May 15, 2002 from Taiyaun Space Center, China.
It circles Earth every 102 minutes (14.1 times a day), between 848 and 869 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.9° 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 365 days its lowest point went from 847 km to 848 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.
