About LANDSAT 9
LANDSAT 9 is a satellite from the United States, launched on Sep 27, 2021 from Air Force Western Test Range.
It circles Earth every 99 minutes (14.6 times a day), between 702 and 703 km up, on an orbit tilted 98.2° 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 702 km to 702 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.
