About RISING 2

RISING 2 is a satellite from Japan, launched on May 24, 2014 from Tanegashima Space Center.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.0 times a day), between 565 and 571 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.6° 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 567 km to 565 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
