About ZINYUAN-3
ZINYUAN-3 is a satellite from China, launched on Jul 25, 2020 from Taiyaun Space Center, China.
It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.2 times a day), between 498 and 506 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.5° 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 499 km to 498 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.
