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 BQ, 56231 is a satellite in LEO that was launched on Mon, 12 Jun 2023 UTC via an FALCON 9 launch vehicle from the Air Force Western Test Range (AFWTR). 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.

Visualization observer readout
Observer readout values are unavailable because the object's trajectory could not be propagated. This is usually caused when the trajectory data is faulty or the object's orbit has decayed.
