THOR ABLESTAR DEB, 1608

Orbit data source: Space-Track

THOR ABLESTAR DEB, 1608 is space debris in LEO originally from a launch on Sun, 13 Dec 1964 UTC launched from the Air Force Western Test Range (AFWTR). Debris objects in space refer to the collection of defunct objects orbiting the Earth. Examples of debris include non-operational satellites, rocket bodies, and fragments generated from explosions, collisions, or faulty payload assembly.
