About FENGYUN 3B
FENGYUN 3B is a satellite from China, launched on Nov 4, 2010 from Taiyaun Space Center, China.
It circles Earth every 102 minutes (14.1 times a day), between 826 and 859 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.9° 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 826 km to 826 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.
