About PROBA 2
PROBA 2 is a satellite from the European Space Agency, launched on Nov 2, 2009 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 99 minutes (14.5 times a day), between 701 and 719 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.2° 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 701 km to 701 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.
