NOAA 17 DEB, 48737

Orbit data source: Space-Track

NOAA 17 DEB, 48737 is space debris in SSO originally from a launch on Mon, 24 Jun 2002 UTC launched 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.
