About SWARM B

SWARM B is a satellite from the European Space Agency, launched on Nov 22, 2013 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.3 times a day), between 476 and 480 km up, on an orbit tilted 87.7° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 88° 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 477 km to 476 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
