About CORVUS BC1
CORVUS BC1 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jul 14, 2017 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 537 and 553 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.4° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° 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 536 km to 537 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.
