About FENGYUN 3C
FENGYUN 3C is a satellite from China, launched on Sep 23, 2013 from Taiyaun Space Center, China.
It circles Earth every 102 minutes (14.2 times a day), between 829 and 850 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.5° 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 365 days its lowest point went from 830 km to 829 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.
