About CHUBUSAT 2
CHUBUSAT 2 is a satellite from Japan, launched on Feb 17, 2016 from Tanegashima Space Center.
It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.2 times a day), between 494 and 505 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 21 days its lowest point went from 494 km to 494 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.
