About FENGYUN 2H
FENGYUN 2H is a satellite from China, launched on Jun 5, 2018 from Xichang Space Center, China.
It sits in geostationary orbit about 35,800 km above the equator near 79°E, turning with Earth so it stays over the same spot.
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 365 days its lowest point went from 35,775 km to 35,774 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
