ATLAS CENTAUR R/B, 38770 (Decayed)
Orbit data source: Space-Track
ATLAS CENTAUR R/B, 38770 was space debris in LEO originally from an American launch on Thu, 13 Sep 2012 UTC via an ATLAS V 401 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.
