(question in Math SE) It might speed up getting an answer but it leads to answer fragmentation which is a problem for future readers. This is frequently confusing to new users, but we don't have a way to easily link answers to the same question that are posted on multiple sites. | |

| Apr 13, 2020 at 12:18 | comment | added | uhoh | It's an interesting question! I've made an edit but I'm not sure exactly what you would like to ask. Are you looking for a better equation that fits the ground track? One think you might notice is that the ground track does not repeat. After every 92 minute orbit the Earth has rotated by about 15 degrees underneath it, so the period of your sinusoid should be closer to 360-22.5=337.5 degrees. While your question is not answered there, see Why does the ISS track appear to be sinusoidal? | |
