About CRYOSAT 2
CRYOSAT 2 is a satellite from the European Space Agency, launched on Apr 8, 2010 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 99 minutes (14.5 times a day), between 718 and 721 km up, on an orbit tilted 92.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 88° 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 718 km to 718 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.
