About CASSIOPE

CASSIOPE is a satellite from Canada, launched on Sep 29, 2013 from Air Force Western Test Range.

It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.4 times a day), between 286 and 632 km up, on an orbit tilted 80.9° 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 22 days its lowest point went from 286 km to 286 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
