Emerging from the shadows.
This is an H-2A rocket body, captured by HEO during a close flyby.
A characteristic of H-2A rocket bodies is that they are gravity-gradient stabilised, naturally aligning themselves with Earth's gravity like a pen balancing on its tip.
Direct imagery from space helps verify these behaviours, giving operators a new layer of insight into the objects sharing Earth's orbit.
