About RISAT 1
RISAT 1 is a satellite from India, launched on Apr 26, 2012 from Sirharikota.
It circles Earth every 90 minutes (15.9 times a day), between 299 and 299 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 22 days its lowest point went from 318 km to 299 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.
