Space Particle Collision Raises Uncertainty Over Spain’s New Military Satellite
Spain’s military communications satellite, SpainSat NG-2, was struck by a space particle while moving toward geostationary orbit. The incident occurred at an unusually high altitude, and the damage remains unknown. Operators have activated contingency plans as engineers assess whether the €2 billion mission can still be completed.

Failing Starlink Satellite Photographed in Orbit Before Fiery Reentry
A SpaceX Starlink satellite suffered a major in-orbit failure in December 2025, losing communication after venting its fuel tank and beginning an uncontrolled orbital descent. The malfunction caused the satellite’s altitude to drop and produced minor debris, prompting close tracking by SpaceX, NASA and the U.S. Space Force. High-resolution imager...

In Rare Accident, Musk's Starlink Lost Communication With One Of Its Satellite
SpaceX's Starlink said one of its satellites experienced an anomaly in space on Wednesday that created a "small number" of debris and cut off communications with the spacecraft at 418 km (259.73 miles) in altitude, a rare kinetic accident in orbit

Point Nemo: The Remote Ocean Graveyard Where the ISS Will Make Its Final Descent in 2030
NASA will retire the ISS in 2030, sending it to Point Nemo, a remote Pacific zone known as the spacecraft cemetery. Most of the station will burn up during reentry, with remaining debris falling harmlessly into the sea. The controlled descent aims to avoid past mishaps and reflects a new era of commercial space stations.
