About SJ-30A

SJ-30A is a satellite from China, launched on Nov 19, 2025 from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China.

It circles Earth every 95 minutes (15.2 times a day), between 516 and 525 km up, on an orbit tilted 51.8° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 52° 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 12 days its lowest point went from 515 km to 516 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
