Russian Satellite

Russia’s record-breaking launch from the Vostochny spaceport saw 53 satellites sent to orbit, including two Iranian satellites for imaging and communications and a joint satellite with Zimbabwe. A Soyuz-2.1b rocket was used for the mission, which took place on November 4, 2024, at 6:18 p.m. EST. Russia’s Ionosfera-M satellites were part of the ...

A Russian rocket will launch two privately built Iranian satellites into orbit early Tuesday, the Iranian embassy in Moscow said, hailing close space cooperation between Moscow and Tehran.

A Russian RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile likely failed during a test earlier this month, according to arms experts and satellite imagery from the launch site.

A Russian satellite has broken up into more than 100 pieces of debris in orbit, forcing astronauts on the International Space Station to take shelter, US space agencies said.

Ukrainian forces have for the first time hit a latest-generation Russian Su-57 fighter jet at an air base inside Russia, Kyiv's GUR defence intelligence agency said on Sunday, showing satellite pictures which it said confirmed the strike.

Jamming interrupts the satellite signals, including GPS, from reaching the aircraft and tricks the pilots into thinking they are somewhere they are not.

Former astronaut Colonel Melroy stated that hundreds of bullet-fast fragments of debris would have shot around Earth if the satellites had collided.

The Federal Communications Commission said Thursday it is investigating if the use of Russian and Chinese foreign satellite systems by US mobile phones and other devices poses security threats.

The U.S. Department of Defense is monitoring a close pass between NASA's Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics Mission (TIMED) spacecraft and the Russian Cosmos 2221 satellite, NASA said in a blog post early Wednesday.

Russian troops in Ukraine are using thousands of Starlink satellite communications terminals made by Elon Musk's SpaceX, the Ukrainian military intelligence chief told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published on Thursday.

Elon Musk told US Republican senators "there is no way in hell" that Russian President Vladimir Putin could lose the war on Ukraine, weighing in on a conflict that has been affected by Musk's own Starlink satellite services.

Russian forces are obtaining Starlink satellite terminals illicitly from third countries and increasing their use on the front line, the Ukrainian military spy agency's spokesperson told Reuters on Monday, without explaining how he knew.

The Kremlin said on Monday that Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet system was neither certified for use in, nor officially supplied to, Russia, and therefore could not be used.

Russian forces in occupied Ukraine are using Starlink terminals produced by Elon Musk's SpaceX for satellite internet in what is beginning to look like their "systemic" application, Kyiv's main military intelligence agency said on Sunday.

North Korea said Thursday it would deploy new weapons and stronger armed forces to the border with the South, as Seoul's spy agency said Pyongyang had received Russian help to successfully put a military spy satellite into orbit.
