Russian Satellite Broke: A terrible accident has happened in space these days. A Russian satellite has been destroyed in space, after which a big threat has arisen to the International Space Station. A damaged Russian satellite has broken down in space, which has broken into more than 100 pieces. In such a situation, the astronauts present on the space station had to take shelter for an hour, so that they can remain safe in case of any emergency.
After the explosion in the satellite, the garbage in space has increased even more, because the garbage of space starts floating in the sky. The name of the Russian satellite in which the explosion took place is being told as RESURS-P1. At present, there is no information about how it broke. Some experts have expressed apprehension that Russia itself may have targeted this satellite with a missile. This satellite was declared dead in the year 2022 itself.
The astronauts had to hide in a safe spacecraft
The US Space Command, which keeps an eye on the growing debris in space, said that at present there is no danger to any other satellite due to the breakdown of the Russian satellite. The US Space Command said that this incident happened on Thursday. NASA’s space office has given detailed information about it. NASA said that this accident happened in a chamber in space, after which the passengers of the International Space Station had to take shelter in their spacecraft for an hour. Russia’s space agency Roscosmos, which operates the satellite, has not given any information about this.
Pieces of satellite visible in radar
The American space firm said that there are already a large number of satellites in space and there is also a huge amount of satellite waste. The firm said that at present there are many satellites that are inactive, these can become a threat to other satellites in the future. The tracking firm said that more than 100 pieces of the Russian satellite broke into pieces in space, which are so big that they are easily visible on the radar.
American scientist expressed apprehension
In fact, Russia destroyed one of its inactive satellites in a missile attack in the year 2021, after which Western countries including America criticized Russia. In such a situation, once again there is a fear that Russia may have done this again to test its weapons. Space-tracker and Harvard astronomer Jonathan McDowell said that at present, no such information has been received from the air or sea area that Russia has launched a missile. But who knows what Russia does.
