STARLINK-4494 is a payload in LEO orbit, operated by SpaceX, launched 2022.
Orbital data last updated 4 days ago. This may not reflect the current orbital state, not for operational use or collision avoidance. That number is the age of the measurement itself, not of our last check. We look for newer orbital data every six hours and publish whatever the tracking catalogue has released; when nothing newer has been released, the measurement below stays where it is. We could not compare this object with others in the same orbit just now, so we will not guess at a reason.Why?
It went up on launch 2022-101, alongside everything else on that flight

This is one of thousands of catalogued objects, one of many in the LEO band. How many satellites are in orbit right now?
