METEOSAT 3 AKM, 43333
Orbit data source: Space-Track
METEOSAT 3 AKM, 43333 is space debris in GEO originally from a launch on Wed, 15 Jun 1988 UTC launched from the French Guiana (FRGUI). 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.
