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 CN, 51068 is a satellite in SSO that was launched on Thu, 13 Jan 2022 UTC via an FALCON 9 launch vehicle from the Air Force Eastern Test Range (AFETR). 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
