Perhaps you could tell us which “this” we’re supposed to be concerned about?

Space Station (ISS), NKorea Sat, other?

The link doesn’t help me understand that.....

You’re not just seeing an eccentric orbit varying in altitude?

You do realize that the world isn't actually round, right? It is now 348 miles over the ground as it transits the pole, and then it will ‛drop‛ down again as it approaches the equator, and then go up again over the north pole.

Last few hours or during a 50 minute period? The perigee is 504.2 km/313 miles and the apogee is 585.9 /364 miles. It will hit both in its 95 minute orbit.

Great handle.

The orbit is elliptical, and technically retrograde, essentially polar.
