About AUREOLE 1

AUREOLE 1 is a satellite from France, launched on Dec 27, 1971 from Plesetsk Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 103 minutes (14.0 times a day), between 382 and 1,400 km up, on an orbit tilted 73.9° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 74° 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 383 km to 382 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
