A început războiul spațial? Un satelit-spion al SUA a explodat, iar Forța Spațială nu exclude un atac • Newsweek România

A U.S. spy satellite, USA 32, disintegrated in low Earth orbit, raising concerns about potential attacks and space debris risks. The Space Force is investigating the incident, which occurred on September 13, and has not ruled out an enemy attack, particularly from Russia. The satellite, operational since 1988, was designed for intelligence gathering during the Cold War. Its unexpected destruction has sparked fears for other satellites in the crowded orbital region, which supports critical global services. The Space Force has recently begun deploying classified payloads to counteract threats from Russia and China, amid rising tensions in space operations.
