HEO(@heospace):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. Non-Earth Imaging at 5 cm/pixel from 12 km away.
