About ANDESITE
ANDESITE is a satellite from the United States, launched on Jun 13, 2020 from Rocket Lab Launch Complex.
It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 541 and 555 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.8° 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.
ANDESITE · ANDESITE (Ad-Hoc Network Demonstration for Extended Satellite-Based Inquiry and Other Team Endeavors), is a 6U CubeSat mission being developed by the Boston University Center for Space Physics

Orbit height over the past year
Over the last 21 days its lowest point went from 541 km to 541 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.
