About IRIS
IRIS is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jun 28, 2013 from Pegasus launched from Western Range Air Space.
It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.9 times a day), between 594 and 626 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.9° 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 594 km to 594 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
