About FENGYUN 3G

FENGYUN 3G is a satellite from China, launched on Apr 16, 2023 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China.

It circles Earth every 93 minutes (15.5 times a day), between 402 and 416 km up, on an orbit tilted 50.0° 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 366 days its lowest point went from 398 km to 402 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
