About IMS-1
IMS-1 is a satellite from India, launched on Apr 28, 2008 from Sirharikota.
It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 548 and 553 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.0° 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 547 km to 548 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.
