About COSMOS 2561
COSMOS 2561 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Oct 21, 2022 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.
It circles Earth every 93 minutes (15.5 times a day), between 397 and 408 km up, on an orbit tilted 96.9° 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 21 days its lowest point went from 399 km to 397 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.
