About FENGYUN 2G

FENGYUN 2G is a satellite from China, launched on Dec 31, 2014 from Xichang Space Center, China.

It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 100°E, turning with Earth so it stays over the same spot.

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 35,773 km to 35,771 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
