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

OBJECT A, 53444 is a satellite owned by Changguang WJ (CN) in SSO that was launched on Wed, 10 Aug 2022 UTC via a CHANG ZHENG 6 launch vehicle from the Taiyaun Space Center, China (TSC). 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.
