About HAIYANG 2A
HAIYANG 2A is a satellite from China, launched on Aug 15, 2011 from Taiyaun Space Center, China.
It circles Earth every 105 minutes (13.7 times a day), between 998 and 999 km up, on an orbit tilted 99.3° 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 22 days its lowest point went from 994 km to 998 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.
