About HODOYOSHI 3
HODOYOSHI 3 is a satellite from Japan, launched on Jun 19, 2014 from Orenburg, Russia.
It circles Earth every 97 minutes (14.9 times a day), between 590 and 633 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.7° 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 589 km to 590 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.
