Doi sateliți ruși se apropie periculos de atmosfera Pământului. Probleme pentru rivalul rusesc al Starlink

Two Russian satellites launched in July 2026 are losing altitude and may re-enter Earth's atmosphere if their orbits are not corrected. These satellites, part of the Rassvet project, are descending at a rate of 1.6 kilometers per day, nearing a critical altitude of 200 kilometers. Concerns about their stability have been raised since late August, with one satellite already having its orbit corrected. Experts warn that without intervention, the satellites could re-enter the atmosphere in the coming weeks. The Rassvet project aims to create a satellite network for high-speed internet and military communications, serving as a Russian alternative to Starlink. The first series of satellites was launched in March and July 2026, but some have failed to reach their intended altitudes, raising operational concerns.
