Did you know that Malaysia has launched a total of 9 satellites? 7 including MEASAT 3 are now dead in space.

and is now heading for a “graveyard orbit”. This means it’s just going to drift in space and thankfully not smash right into Earth.

This is a very common thing and space debris is a real issue. MySA is currently working on ways to solve this, including launching a mission to retrieve satellites and even implementing refuelling rockets for the inactive satellites. But why do satellites die? Sometimes anomalies happen like to the MEASAT 3 and they just go out of orbit. Other times something in the satellite malfunctions, perhaps because of harsh radiation, and so it no longer becomes usable. However, most of the time it’s because the satellite runs out of fuel.soon. The satellite will be built by Airbus Defence and Space and is scheduled to launch in early 2022. It will also enable 100Mbps satellite broadband in Malaysia.

RazakSAT actually has an interesting story. It was launched by SpaceX in 2009. The satellite had an observation camera, but because of an error, all the images acquired were rendered unusable, so they gave up in 2010.- 😂

We should name a satellite MAISAT.
