Well, that's the ISS. Here's the link to the ACTUAL decayed satellite (COSMOS 1220): http://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=12054

Yes - same satellite number, your link includes the word "satellite," and it appears that the site defaults to the space station if you do something wrong, with no indication.

Very helpful.

The site also thinks it's now decayed or re-entered and no longer actually plots the track. Which is a shame.
