About ORBCOMM FM 118
ORBCOMM FM 118 is a satellite from ORB, launched on Dec 22, 2015 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.
It circles Earth every 99 minutes (14.6 times a day), between 694 and 698 km up, on an orbit tilted 47.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 47° 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 21 days its lowest point went from 695 km to 694 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.
