You're viewing an uncataloged RSO

Recently launched and/or uncataloged RSOs may have evolving metadata. Metadata may include the following, but is not limited to: Owner, Manufacturer, Bus, Motor, and Mission.

OBJECT H, 60242 is a satellite in LEO that was launched on Tue, 09 Jul 2024 UTC via an ARIANE 62 launch vehicle from the French Guiana (FRGUI). 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.
