About HOKUSHIN1

HOKUSHIN1 is a satellite from Russia (or the former Soviet Union), launched on Nov 20, 1998 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 93 minutes (15.6 times a day), between 392 and 402 km up, on an orbit tilted 51.6° 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 26 days its lowest point went from 398 km to 392 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
