Why altitude changes
The ISS does not stay at a perfectly fixed altitude. Atmospheric drag, orbital maintenance, and mission operations can change the station's orbital profile over time.
Best used with the live tracker
Telemetry values are most useful when paired with the Earth view because speed, altitude, latitude, and longitude together explain the current orbital state.
FAQ
Does the ISS fly at one exact altitude?
No. The ISS altitude varies over time due to drag, reboosts, and normal orbital operations.
Does Orbitium show live ISS telemetry?
Orbitium displays telemetry-style values from its ISS tracking pipeline and labels the source status when available.
Why is ISS speed shown in orbital trackers?
Speed helps explain how the station can circle Earth many times per day and why its visible location changes quickly.
