About FORMOSAT7-3/COSMIC2-3

FORMOSAT7-3/COSMIC2-3 is a satellite from TWN, launched on Jun 25, 2019 from Air Force Eastern Test Range.

It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 533 and 535 km up, on an orbit tilted 24.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 24° 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 534 km to 533 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
