About FENGYUN 3A
FENGYUN 3A is a satellite from China, launched on May 27, 2008 from Taiyaun Space Center, China.
It circles Earth every 101 minutes (14.2 times a day), between 820 and 834 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.7° 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 366 days its lowest point went from 820 km to 820 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.
