YAOGAN-36 04C is a payload in LEO orbit, operated by General Armaments Dept. of the PLA, launched 2022.
Orbital data last updated 10 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. This is normal for this orbit. 8,110 of the 11,736 tracked objects in LEO were also last measured at least this long ago. Objects on this kind of path spend much of their time far from the ground sensors that track them, so they are re-measured far less often than something in a low orbit passing overhead several times a day.

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