ETS 6 DEB, 23248

Orbit data source: Space-Track

ETS 6 DEB, 23248 is space debris in HEO originally from a launch on Sun, 28 Aug 1994 UTC launched from the Tanegashima Space Center (TNSTA). 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.
