Is this thing in a geostationary or low earth orbit?

Got to be high orbit or it would have burned years ago. They've got to boost the space station higher every other year or so to keep it up.

LEO orbit — circular orbit ~2800km apogee/perigee with a period of 145 minutes — should be up for a few more years.
