About JILIN-01 GAOFEN 2A

JILIN-01 GAOFEN 2A is a satellite from China, launched on Nov 13, 2019 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China.

It circles Earth every 93 minutes (15.4 times a day), between 435 and 441 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.5° 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 436 km to 435 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
