OBJECT C, 100242
Orbit data source: Space-Track
OBJECT C, 100242 is an American satellite in LEO that was launched on Wed, 05 Aug 2026 UTC launched from the Air Force Eastern Test Range (AFETR). Unknown objects in Earth's orbit typically refer to objects detected orbiting the Earth but have not yet been identified or cataloged. These objects could be anything from previously untracked satellites, spent rocket stages, debris from satellite collisions, or even natural meteoroids temporarily captured by Earth's gravity.
