OBJECT AF, 52423 (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 AF, 52423 was a satellite in LEO that was launched on Mon, 02 May 2022 UTC via an ELECTRON launch vehicle from the Rocket Lab Launch Complex (RLLC). 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. |
