About EOLE 1 (CAS-A)

EOLE 1 (CAS-A) is a satellite from France, launched on Aug 16, 1971 from Wallops Island.

It circles Earth every 99 minutes (14.6 times a day), between 620 and 763 km up, on an orbit tilted 50.1° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 50° 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 11 days its lowest point went from 620 km to 620 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
