About RAISE 2

RAISE 2 is a satellite from Japan, launched on Nov 9, 2021 from Kagoshima Space Center University of Tokyo.

It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.2 times a day), between 491 and 504 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.3° 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 19 days its lowest point went from 493 km to 491 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
