Two large satellites nearly collided in the sky of Pittsburgh
Low earth orbit did not receive hundreds of new space debris after the two dead satellites were expected to collide in the air of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. States, but the fact that both have 'glided through each other' without leaving any incidents.
A few days earlier, the LeoLabs astronomy center issued a warning saying its ground radar system is closely monitoring the potential collision between an IR Astronomical Satellite Complex (IRAS). launched in 1983, and the experimental GGSE-4 satellite was launched for the US Air Force in 1967. Both large satellites have now stopped working and are at risk of colliding with each other in the sky. Pittsburgh Street at approximately 6:39 pm local time 29/1. If it happens, this collision will release a large amount of debris floating into low earth orbit which is full of cosmic waste.
The collision rate between the two satellites has not been announced, but they are still closely monitored according to common safety rules. If this happens, the people of Pittsburgh and even those who follow the orbits of the Earth professionally can observe part of the explosion caused by these two satellites. In fact, however, there were no signs of such an accident recorded.
LeoLabs also confirmed its radar showed no evidence of new debris.
So there is no chance that any collision will have occurred, and these two dead satellites will continue to float around the low earth orbit in a 'pretend' manner and there is a chance of a possible reunion. on another day, maybe after another decade.
