About COSMOS 2496
COSMOS 2496 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on May 23, 2014 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 116 minutes (12.4 times a day), between 1,478 and 1,511 km up, on an orbit tilted 82.4° 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 1,478 km to 1,478 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.
