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 C, 61229 is a satellite owned by Wuhan daxue (CN) in SSO that was launched on Tue, 24 Sep 2024 UTC via a JIELONG-3 launch vehicle from the Yellow Sea Launch Area, China (YSLA). 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.
