LAGEOS 1 AKM, 8822

Orbit data source: Space-Track

LAGEOS 1 AKM, 8822 is space debris originally from a launch on Tue, 04 May 1976 UTC launched from the Air Force Western Test Range (AFWTR). Debris objects in space refer to the collection of defunct objects orbiting the Earth. Examples of debris include non-operational satellites, rocket bodies, and fragments generated from explosions, collisions, or faulty payload assembly.
