About METEOR M2

METEOR M2 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Jul 8, 2014 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 101 minutes (14.2 times a day), between 815 and 825 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.5° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 81° 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 366 days its lowest point went from 816 km to 816 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
