About KOMPSAT 3A
KOMPSAT 3A is a satellite from South Korea, launched on Mar 25, 2015 from Orenburg, Russia.
It circles Earth every 92 minutes (15.6 times a day), between 353 and 421 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.7° 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 366 days its lowest point went from 440 km to 353 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.
