About SCISAT 1
SCISAT 1 is a satellite from Canada, launched on Aug 13, 2003 from Pegasus launched from Western Range Air Space.
It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.8 times a day), between 618 and 630 km up, on an orbit tilted 73.9° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 74° 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 619 km to 618 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.
