About CBERS-4
CBERS-4 is a satellite from China, launched on Dec 7, 2014 from Taiyaun Space Center, China.
It circles Earth every 100 minutes (14.4 times a day), between 773 and 774 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.3° 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 772 km to 773 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
