Short time-lapse of part of this morning’s first pass of ICEYE-X36 (59103) and COSMOS 2612 (68762) over South America under partly cloudy skies.

Optical observation conditions for this object are currently poor at our sites due to orbit/Earth's shadow. Nevertheless, a pass over Australia, recorded on 2026-10-08, still showed some debris around METEOR 2-7 #12456.

A short clip of ESA's JUICE Earth flyby, recorded about 38 minutes before closest approach.

Once again USA 32 (#19460), during its second pass over South America this morning 2026-09-16, 09:23:35 – 09:34:48 UTC.

Some recordings of USA 32 (#19460), whose fragmentation in LEO on 13 Sep 2026 at approximately 2113 UTC was confirmed by U.S. Space Forces–Space (S4S). By the time of the recordings, a large number of fragments had already dispersed over a wide section of the track.

A snapshot of the CZ-6C upper stage (#100472), recorded today 2026-08-28, 21:26:21 UTC from our Swiss station. The upper stage apparently fragmented according today’s post from LeoLabs: www.linkedin.com/posts/at-230...

Interesting change in the orbital data for INTELSAT 805 #25371 and visually detectable objects in the vicinity. Worth keeping a closer eye on.

Since monitoring Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) is also part of Space Situational Awareness, we didn’t want to miss this opportunity and took a quick look at 2026 JH2 during its visit yesterday. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_JH2

Happy Anniversary, LAGEOS-1. Today, May 4, marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of the LAser GEOdynamic Satellite (LAGEOS) 1. A good reason to track it for a few minutes and say hello. More about the mission at: earth.gsfc.nasa.gov/geo/missions...
