OBJECT L, 43841 (Decayed)
Orbit data source: Space-Track
Recently launched and/or uncataloged satellites may have evolving metadata. Metadata may include but not limited to: Owner, Maufacturer, Bus, Motor, and Mission.
OBJECT L, 43841 was a satellite in LEO that was launched on Fri, 07 Dec 2018 UTC via a CHANG ZHENG 2D launch vehicle from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, China (JSC). 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. This object's orbit decayed before it could be identified.

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. |
