About RASAT

RASAT is a satellite from TURK, launched on Aug 17, 2011 from Orenburg, Russia.

It circles Earth every 98 minutes (14.7 times a day), between 651 and 682 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.1° 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 22 days its lowest point went from 652 km to 651 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
