Un satélite ruso acecha a otro de EE UU durante días en una maniobra “sin precedentes”: un paso más hacia la guerra de las galaxias
El aparato Kosmos-2612 ha puesto en peligro la integridad del estadounidense Iceye-X36, semanas después de que Washington reconociera que ya ha desplegado armas activas en el espacio
A tense celestial chess game is unfolding above our planet as geopolitical tensions transfer into space. Recently, the United States acknowledged possessing active weapons in orbit for the first time. Meanwhile, Russia has displayed its wariness in space by harassing a commercial American satellite that provides Ukraine with highly detailed images of the battleground.
The Russian satellite, Kosmos-2612, initiated a series of suspicious maneuvers late September culminating on October 18th as it approached an unprecedented "extreme proximity" while orbiting Earth at 540 kilometers high, threatening the satellite's integrity. Space traffic experts deem the pursuit a novel act of aggression. The shadow of today's saboteousness in Europe also settles in space with a clear political implication: a Russian military satellite approached an American commercial satellite, one that supports Ukraine's military efforts, with extreme closeness.
