OPTUS A2 R/B(PAM-D), 16294
Orbit data source: Space-Track
OPTUS A2 R/B(PAM-D), 16294 is space debris in HEO originally from a launch on Wed, 27 Nov 1985 UTC launched from the Air Force Eastern Test Range (AFETR). 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.
