About KORONAS-FOTON
KORONAS-FOTON is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Jan 30, 2009 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 93 minutes (15.5 times a day), between 414 and 427 km up, on an orbit tilted 82.4° 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 415 km to 414 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.
