RHU is catalogued in this registry as a component, held in the frame of Earth, from GCAT — artificial space objects.
Registry id GCAT_A12033 ·
source layer gcat ·
provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented
Exists from 2003-06-10 17:58:47 UTC (JD 2452801.24916) until 2004-01-04 04:25:59 UTC (JD 2453008.68472).
Open RHU in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.
The registry keeps every source's value rather than choosing one and discarding the rest. If you quote a figure below, quoting it alone would hide a real disagreement between catalogues.
existsUntil: the registry shows one value and keeps 1 other — 2453007.5 (CelesTrak SATCAT)This object's parent frame changes over its life. Each leg names the frame it is expressed in and the source arc it came from. A leg with no geometry is a declared gap — the registry holds no path across it and draws none.
