About TANDEM X
TANDEM X is a satellite from Germany, launched on Jun 21, 2010 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.2 times a day), between 507 and 510 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.4° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° 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 23 days its lowest point went from 507 km to 507 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.
