NOAA 17 DEB, 48741
Orbit data source: Space-Track
NOAA 17 DEB, 48741 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.
