DECAYED

TRANSIT 16 DEB, 38530 (Decayed)

Orbit data source: Space-Track

TRANSIT 16 DEB, 38530 was space debris in LEO originally from a launch on Thu, 18 May 1967 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.

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.
