About COROT

COROT is a satellite from France, launched on Dec 27, 2006 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 99 minutes (14.5 times a day), between 592 and 855 km up, on an orbit tilted 90.1° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 90° 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 591 km to 592 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
