About ASTRO H

ASTRO H is a satellite from Japan, launched on Feb 17, 2016 from Tanegashima Space Center.

It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 526 and 540 km up, on an orbit tilted 31.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 31° 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 527 km to 526 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
