telescope known as IRAS and a decommissioned US military satellite called GGSE-4, had a one in 1,000 chance of colliding and it could be other active satellites at risk.Dr Brad Tucker, from the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Australian National University had said before the incident"these two big hunks of space junk" will be"really close".
But the two inactive satellites"crossed paths without incident" at about 23.39 GMT, 18.39 local time, a spokesman for US Space Command said.After they passed, LeoLabs tweeted:"Thankfully our latest data following the event shows no evidence of new debris. To be sure, we will perform a further assessment upon the next pass of both objects over Kiwi Space Radar occurring later tonight.
"We are pleased to report that in the first several radar passes of the two objects after the close approach, we see no evidence of new debris. This event has served to highlight the collision risks caused by derelict satellites in LEO."
Just keep firing more satellites and we will get raining fire bro
Time to get owners to recover defunct satellites, or at least a way to de-orbit them so they burn up in atmosphere.
