Two Russian satellites from Rassvet constellation fail in orbit
Original: russia rassvet constellation orbit failure
Two satellites belonging to Russia's Rassvet constellation, an intended rival to SpaceX's Starlink, have failed in orbit and are expected to fall back to Earth. Defence Blog reported that the spacecraft will deorbit, marking a setback for Moscow's effort to build a domestic broadband satellite network. Observers see it as another blow to Russia's struggling space programme and its ambitions to compete commercially in low Earth orbit.
Why now: The failure of two satellites is a fresh setback for Russia's challenge to Starlink, drawing attention from space and defence watchers.
