About JUGNU

JUGNU is a satellite from India, launched on Oct 12, 2011 from Sirharikota.

It circles Earth every 102 minutes (14.1 times a day), between 833 and 860 km up, on an orbit tilted 20.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 20° 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 833 km to 833 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
