Leo Labs has detected another debris generating event.

This is the latest in a series of events we've seen over the last six months.
Mike BakerHOST
What makes this concerning is just how quickly the Russian spacecraft closed the gap and which satellite it appears to have singled out.
Mike BakerHOST
According to the space intelligence company Leo Labs, the two spacecraft were more than 200 miles apart on Thursday.
Mike BakerHOST
By Friday afternoon, the separation had shrunk to roughly three miles.
Mike BakerHOST
Now, the Russian satellite is called Cosmos 2612.
Mike BakerHOST
Okay, fine, maybe it's not a coincidence.
Mike BakerHOST
Those adjustments burn fuel, meaning Russia appears to have spent some of its satellite's finite resources to bring it closer to the US satellite.
Mike BakerHOST
Leo Labs described that behavior as, quote, relatively uncommon in low Earth orbit.
Mike BakerHOST
An analyst with Integrity ISR was more direct, saying, quote, this points to a purposeful engagement between Russia and a Western-run satellite that's supporting Ukraine.

I wasn't even born.

And now it's, of course, crumbled into what experts are calling tens of fragments, all detected by a space tracking company called Leo Labs as the satellite passed over Western Australia.
Alya Al NuaimiHOST
Now, these fragments are now zipping around Earth at roughly 530 miles up, or about 855 kilometers, which, according to orbital debris expert Jim Shaw, is the worst possible altitude for this to happen, because that's exactly where debris is most densely parked.
Alya Al NuaimiHOST
Space junk, basically.
Non ArkaraprasertkulHOST
There is a third threat and it is up in orbit.
Non ArkaraprasertkulHOST
A space tracking company called Leo Labs is watching a Russian satellite, Cosmos 2612.
Non ArkaraprasertkulHOST
It has been closing in on a United States-owned commercial imaging satellite called ICYX36, i.e. is a Finnish-founded firm that works with Ukraine's military.
Non ArkaraprasertkulHOST
A Ukrainian official said it was unclear if this particular satellite supports Ukraine.
Non ArkaraprasertkulHOST
A space law professor told Axios that countries generally keep at least six miles between satellites.
Non ArkaraprasertkulHOST
A senior fellow at the Think Tank Seasides called this distance bumper to bumper.
Non ArkaraprasertkulHOST
Leo Labs said the intent remains uncertain.
Non ArkaraprasertkulHOST
Russia burned fuel and changed altitude, plane, and speed to get there.
