About CARTOSAT 2A
CARTOSAT 2A is a satellite from India, launched on Apr 28, 2008 from Sirharikota.
It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.8 times a day), between 623 and 640 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.7° 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 622 km to 623 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.
