ATLAS CENTAUR R/B, 3598

Orbit data source: Space-Track

ATLAS CENTAUR R/B, 3598 is space debris in LEO originally from a launch on Sat, 07 Dec 1968 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.
