Russian Military Satellite Closes to 200m of Ukrainian One
Original: Star Wars: A Russian Military Satellite Gets Within 200m of One Used by Ukraine
A Russian military satellite has approached to within 200 metres of a satellite used by Ukraine, an unusually close encounter in orbit that analysts describe as a potential act of space-based surveillance or harassment. The incident, reported by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, highlights how the war in Ukraine is extending into orbit, with military satellites shadowing each other and raising concerns about collision risks and the weaponisation of space.
Why now: The unusually close approach underscores growing concern that the Ukraine war is spilling into orbit and raising risks of space confrontations.
