HITCH HIKER 1, 614 (Decayed)
Orbit data source: Space-Track
HITCH HIKER 1, 614 was an American payload satellite in LEO that was launched on Thu, 27 Jun 1963 UTC via a THOR SLV-2A AGENA D launch vehicle from the Air Force Western Test Range (AFWTR). Payloads include a variety of satellites, spacecraft, and rockets equipped with specific instruments for various scientific and technological missions. These include communications satellites like Starlink; space stations such as the ISS; scientific satellites like the Hubble; Earth observation satellites from companies like Planet Labs, Umbra, and HawkEye 360; GPS; miniature CubeSats for education and research; and military/defense satellites.

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. |
