MIDAS 4 DEB, 194

Orbit data source: Space-Track

MIDAS 4 DEB, 194 is space debris in LEO originally from a launch on Sat, 21 Oct 1961 UTC via an ATLAS AGENA B launch vehicle 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.
