About ALSAT 1B
ALSAT 1B is a satellite from ALG, launched on Sep 26, 2016 from Sirharikota.
It circles Earth every 98 minutes (14.7 times a day), between 646 and 661 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.8° 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 22 days its lowest point went from 648 km to 646 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.
