About PAKTES 1A
PAKTES 1A is a satellite from PAKI, launched on Jul 9, 2018 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China.
It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.0 times a day), between 551 and 585 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.1° 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 21 days its lowest point went from 552 km to 551 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.
