About JILIN-01 GAOFEN 2D
JILIN-01 GAOFEN 2D is a satellite from China, launched on Sep 27, 2021 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China.
It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.1 times a day), between 518 and 562 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.7° 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 20 days its lowest point went from 519 km to 518 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.
