Cloudy.

I had seen a bright unid on june 9, which I could not solve. Last night I have seen it again, I believe. The data doesn't fit on anything in the classified and the space track catalog.

The data of june 9 again:
90006 24 661A   0794 E 20240609005211405 17 25 1104353+542088 37 S
90006 24 661A   0794 E 20240609005218411 17 25 1045771+540122 37 S
90006 24 661A   0794 E 20240609005228417 17 25 1022303+531854 37 S
90006 24 661A   0794 E 20240609005236519 17 25 1005873+523594 37 S

Last nights data:
90006 24 674A   0794 F 20240622004713056 17 25 1116349+585222 37 S
90006 24 674A   0794 P 20240622004718867 17 25 1100959+580650 37 S
90006 24 674A   0794 F 20240622004728870 17 25 1038330+564032 37 S
90006 24 674A   0794 F 20240622004737670 17 25 1022040+552233 37 S

A circular fit gives:

Bright unid 2024-06-09

# 20240609.04-20240622.03, 8 measurements, 0.034 deg rms

I am quite surprised that this is unidentified. As it is bright, it is easily seen and we should have seen it more often. Is it recently launched? Did I miss a launch? Is it one of the long lost items? Can one of the data crunching guru's take a look at the observations? And more observations are also welcome!

Cheers,

Eelke.
