ORBCOMM FM 16 DEB, 44023
Orbit data source: Space-Track
ORBCOMM FM 16 DEB, 44023 is space debris in LEO originally from a launch on Sun, 02 Aug 1998 UTC launched from the Pegasus Launch, Eastern Range Air Space (ERAS). 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.
