About AISAT

AISAT is a satellite from Germany, launched on Jun 30, 2014 from Sirharikota.

It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 525 and 540 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.2° 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 528 km to 525 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
