H-2A R/B, 33500

Orbit data source: Space-Track

H-2A R/B, 33500 is space debris in SSO originally from a launch on Fri, 23 Jan 2009 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.
