Nasa's TIMED satellite narrowly avoids collision with defunct Russian satellite

IndiaTimes Thursday, 29 February 2024
NASA spacecraft, Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) mission, narrowly avoided a collision with an inactive Russian satellite in low Earth orbit. The potential consequences of a collision include significant debris generation, posing a threat to both NASA's satellite and other orbiting objects. This highlights the growing concern of the Kessler syndrome, where satellite debris triggers a chain reaction in low Earth orbit.
