ISS astronauts take shelter from crash of malfunctioning Russian satellite

A malfunctioning Russian satellite split into nearly 200 pieces of debris, forcing astronauts at the International Space Station (ISS) to take cover for about an hour.

US space agency NASA received a report that the Russian Earth observation satellite RESURS-P1 had split apart on Wednesday. As a result, six US crew members on the space station were instructed to “shelter in their respective spacecraft as a standard precautionary measure.”

Mission Control continued to monitor the path of the debris, and after about an hour, the crew was cleared to exit their spacecraft and the station resumed normal operations.

US Space Command, which coordinates space operations for all branches of the military, initially tracked “over 100 pieces of trackable debris.” The debris reportedly belonged to a satellite declared dead by Russia in 2022. The command also stated that the incident posed “no immediate threats.”

By midday Thursday, US space tracking firm LeoLabs reported that its radars had detected at least 180 objects.

Due to the low orbit of this debris cloud, we estimate it’ll be weeks to months before the hazard has passed.

Russian space agency Roscosmos decommissioned RESURS-P1 due to onboard equipment malfunctions in 2021.

Incident risks

Major debris-in-orbit events are rare but a growing concern, as space becomes crowded with satellite networks. In 2021, Russia hit one of its defunct satellites in orbit with a ground-based anti-satellite missile (ASAT) launched from the Plesetsk rocket site.

However, Jonathan McDowell, a space tracker and Harvard astronomer, suggested that the breakup could most likely have been caused by a satellite issue, such as fuel residue on board causing an explosion.

I find it hard to believe they would use such a big satellite as an ASAT target.

With some 25,000 pieces of debris larger than four inches (10 cm) in space, experts alarmed at the prospect of a Kessler effect. This is a phenomenon in which satellite collisions with debris can create a cascading field of more dangerous debris and increase the risk of accidents.

Not A Book Friday

I was surprised that I hadn’t watched this before. (Or read the story it was based on either). Especially since, when it comes to noir, this is sorta one of the noir original core movies that these days other directors look back to to get their ideas and feeling from.

THe story is about Sam Spade and Miles Archer. They start by looking for Ruth Wonderly’s missing sister for Ruth. Except, later that night Miles is killed. And Ruth has checked out of her hotel. And, so, he then wants to find out who killed his partner, perhaps Ruth’s (now Brigid) partner Floyd? Then, enter yet another case for Sam, to find a "black figure of a bird"

It all comes together, and, as I was watching I had no doubt about why it is considered such a classic. I like some of Bogart’s movies, and don’t like others of his movies, but, this one was definitely and firmly in the like column. Mary Astor was pretty cool in it too, not to mention. Sydney Greenstreet. Yes, sign me up to watch all his movies now… (he’ll need to get in line behind all of Cary Grant’s movies, all of Rosalind Russell’s movies, and all of Jean Arthur’s movies). An amazing movie. Totally amazing.

13 September 1985, 20:43 UTC. Maj. Wilbert D. "Doug" Pearson, flying the "Celestial Eagle" F-15A (sn#: 76-0084) launches an ASM-135 ASAT anti-satellite missile, about 320 kilometres (200 mi) west of Vandenberg Air Force Base. The launch successfully destroyed the US-built Solwind P78-1 satellite flying at an altitude of 555 kilometres (345 mi). Prior to the launch, the F-15 — flying at Mach 1.22 — executed a 3.8 g zoom climb at an angle of 65 degrees. The ASM-135 ASAT was automatically launched at 11,600 metres (38,100 ft).

Fifteen ASAT missiles were produced, and five were flight tested.

ツイッターをやめてしばらく経ち、長い間放置していたこちらを再開しようかなという気持ちがある。最近は毎週ガールズバンドクライが楽しみで仕方ない。仁菜がASAT CLASSICを手に取るのはまだ先みたい。
