MAN MADE OBJECTS IN HIGH EARTH ORBIT

Non-exhaustive list of artificial objects that did not reach the Earth’s escape velocity and are now stranded, intentionally or not, in highly elliptical orbits, or HEO. Not all of the Earth’s HEO objects are listed, but only those linked to interplanetary space missions. It is not precisely known whether some of them have already decayed or not. They are listed for the record. Probes in Cislunar space, or more generally orbiting the the Earth-Moon system, are also listed here.

Note that due to orbital mechanics perturbations, some objects may be ejected to heliocentric orbit and others (re)captured by the Earth. This is the case for object J002E3 which is thought to be Apollo 12’s S-IVB third stage mistakenly sent into an unstable trajectory in 1969 and alterning since then between heliocentric and geocentric (Earth) orbit.

Note also that Earth’s artificial orbital objects (active and derelict satellites, spent stages, debris) are not listed due to their overwhelming number and because they will sooner or later burn up upon reentry. If you’d like to track them, real good websites exist such as StuffInSpace which displays real-time data of each orbital object into an interactive map of the Earth’s orbit.

Over 250 artificial objects have been identified.
