H-2A R/B, 38341

Orbit data source: Space-Track

H-2A R/B, 38341 is space debris in SSO originally from a launch on Thu, 17 May 2012 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.
