About EINSTEIN PROBE

EINSTEIN PROBE is a satellite from China, launched on Jan 9, 2024 from Xichang Space Center, China.

It circles Earth every 96 minutes (15.0 times a day), between 553 and 566 km up, on an orbit tilted 29.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 29° 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 16 days its lowest point went from 553 km to 553 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
