General
- Launched
- Mass
- about 6.6 t
- Orbit class
- Medium Earth orbit
From GCAT, Jonathan McDowell’s general catalogue, licensed CC BY 4.0: the launch day and the mass. The orbit class is read from its current elements.
In orbit
- Close approaches
- No close approach to OBJECT B has been reported publicly in the past thirty days.
From Space-Track’s public conjunction messages; the latest report was issued Nov 14, 2026, 1:52 PM, 10 hours old. Only approaches serious enough to be reported publicly are listed: within three days and, for two bodies near the Earth, closer than a kilometre with a chance of a collision above 1 in 10,000, the level at which NASA moves the ISS.
Launched with
OBJECT B shares its launch, 2026-252, with one other body the catalogue lists in orbit.
| Body | What it is |
|---|---|
| OBJECT A | Navigation satellite |
Read from the international designators of the US catalogue: the year and the launch number every piece of one launch shares. A body that has come down is no longer listed.

In view from you
Nobody watches OBJECT B go over, but a receiver still asks whether it is above the horizon. Say where you are and this card answers.
Your position is rounded to about a kilometre and sent only to the Orbinauts API, to find the pass.
No brightness has been published for OBJECT B, so it is not a naked-eye satellite and no city page carries pass times for it. Nothing here estimates one.
Seeing it
There is nothing to go outside for: it is too faint to see with the naked eye from anywhere on Earth.
