Watch this Space - Episode 3 - Launches and Debris in June 2016 - Part 1

"Watch this Space" is a little experiment by Dr Stuart Grey of University College London to try and show people what is going on in Earth orbit. In this episode we cover the satellite launches and newly tracked pieces of debris for June 2016. All of the object orbits are taken from real tracking data (from http://www.space-track.org) so every single coloured dot is a real object. The positions and motion of the objects relative to the Earth are to scale but each objects size is greatly exaggerated (otherwise there would be nothing to see!). The objects covered this time are: *New Satellites* GEO-IK-2 21 GEO-IK-2 2 (Musson 2 / Kosmos 2517) is a Russian geodesy satellite launched on the 4th June 2016 from a Rokot-KM launch vehicle.
