About APRIZESAT 9
APRIZESAT 9 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jun 19, 2014 from Orenburg, Russia.
It circles Earth every 98 minutes (14.7 times a day), between 600 and 694 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.9° 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 601 km to 600 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.
