4,300 tonnes of space junk and rising: another satellite breakup adds to orbital debris woes.
4,300 tonnes of space junk and rising: another satellite breakup adds to orbital debris woes.
The Intelsat 33e communications satellite unexpectedly broke up in orbit, creating at least 20 fragments. How do we track the growing amounts of orbital debris?
What we do know is that Intelsat 33e has a history of issues while in orbit. Designed and manufactured by Boeing, the satellite was launched in August 2016.
I think we all know what the issue with the satellite was.
You can't make this shit up, it keeps happening
The front fell off
Soon, we won't have to worry about immigrating to Mars, or anywhere else. We won't be able to leave the planet at all. Checkmate, tree huggin' pinko commie libcucks!
How does it just "break up"?
It says the satellite was made by Boeing....
