Russia’s Luch (Olymp) 2 is on the move yet again. Slingshot’s ML-based object profiling engine autonomously flagged a large maneuver by the Russian spacecraft [Norad ID 55841] on June 23rd, 2024 at 05:44 UTC.

@pilotscott7 Potentially some power outages, GPS systems not working sporadically or for a short period of time, and radio signals not transmitting properly

@pranav_techie I think one of the biggest impacts to their lifespan will be the potential need to use precious fuel to get back into the right orbit

@TheGalacticGal As per NOAA there shouldn’t be any major affect on the satellites life, just that the communication might be degraded during the storm

Sorry @USATODAY, you're the one spreading false information. The video you reference from @ashleyinstem was literally about how the claim was FALSE. Why, then, did you say SHE spread misinformation?! Did you watch the whole video or did you just stop after 5 seconds and go running to NASA for comments? Perhaps it would've been a better story if you had talked about the *news outlets* that spread the misinformation in the first place. @hudnall_hannah usatoday.com/story/news/fac…

That's definitely an idea people like @CisLunarInd are working on! But there are many ways we can get rid of space debris and I think we need to 1) try them all and 2) use every method to clean it up as fast as possible -- rn, deorbiting is the most technologically advanced option

@astroscale_HQ Shame to deorbit space junk. Consolidate it out of the way, like a junkyard, and develop tech to reuse it or recycle it in place for milling and tooling.

@ghostboy326 @astroscale_HQ I can help answer this q! The rocket was used to launch an Earth observation satellite into space back in 2009. Many upper stages of rockets (like this) don't come back down, especially from launches decades ago when we didn't really understand the space debris problem yet

So, who gets salvage rights? I mean, really, how come nobody has ever thought of just sending up an orbital smelter with claws to go around capture space junk melt it down and produce ingots for space construction, just a nice little automated robot that builds stuff? Including new copies of itself? #VonNeumann

@wbskills @Skyrocket71 @astroscale_HQ Actually the key wording is "through rendezvous and proximity operations" (rather than emphasis on "our mission")! What they achieved has in fact NOT been done before -- they rendezvoused with something with no precise location

Ahh!! I’m so excited to share that I’m in London this week at @viasat Beyond: Space, a #STEM innovation competition for students in the UK focused on space sustainability! 🛰️♻️ Can’t wait to judge the final round and speak at the awards dinner 😁
