About HONGHU 2
HONGHU 2 is a satellite from China, launched on Dec 8, 2023 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China.
It circles Earth every 94 minutes (15.3 times a day), between 450 and 506 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 17 days its lowest point went from 444 km to 450 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.
