You're viewing an Uncataloged Satellite

Recently launched and/or uncataloged satellites may have evolving metadata. Metadata may include but not limited to: Owner, Maufacturer, Bus, Motor, and Mission.

OBJECT AD, 47959 is a satellite in LEO that was launched on Mon, 22 Mar 2021 UTC via a SOYUZ-2-1A launch vehicle from the Tyuratam Missile And Space Complex (TTMTR). Unknown objects in Earth's orbit typically refer to objects detected orbiting the Earth but have not yet been identified or cataloged. These objects could be anything from previously untracked satellites, spent rocket stages, debris from satellite collisions, or even natural meteoroids temporarily captured by Earth's gravity.

Not visible in the next 10 days

Visualization observer readout

Observer readout values are unavailable because the object's trajectory could not be propagated. This is usually caused when the trajectory data is faulty or the object's orbit has decayed.
