OBJECT K, 49404

Orbit data source: Space-Track

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 K, 49404 is a satellite owned by ISAS/JAXA (JP) in SSO that was launched on Tue, 09 Nov 2021 UTC launched from the Kagoshima Space Center University Of Tokyo (KSCUT). 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.
