THOR AGENA B R/B, 426

Orbit data source: Space-Track

THOR AGENA B R/B, 426 is space debris in LEO originally from a launch on Sat, 29 Sep 1962 UTC via a THOR AGENA B 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.
