Russia flew spy satellite, America said in anger – will get the answer


Posted on 16th Nov 2021 06:15 pm by rohit kumar

The US has condemned Russia for a "dangerous and irresponsible" missile test, saying the test put the lives of astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) at risk.

 

In this test, Russia targeted one of its satellites, which exploded causing debris in space and forcing the ISS crew to hide in their capsule.

 

There are currently seven astronauts on the space station. Among them are four American, one German, and two Russian passengers.

 

"Today, Russia destroyed its satellite to test an anti-satellite missile. The test produced more than 1,500 pieces of debris and thousands of smaller debris," US State Department spokesman Ned Price told a briefing. Which now threatens the interests of all countries.

 

The agency tweeted, "The arrival of some objects in orbit caused the crew to go into their vehicles which is a standard procedure, these things have now come out of orbit and now the space station is (safe) in the green zone." '

 

When the pieces of debris came into orbit, it was not known in advance. But later it was found that where did they come from.

 

This debris belonged to Russia's satellite Kosmos-1408. It was a spy satellite, which was launched in 1982, weighed several tons, and had been inactive for many years.

 

Space debris tracking company LeoLab said its New Zealand-based radar service had found several pieces of debris where a long-dormant spacecraft had been located.

 

Price says that this threat is not averted.

 

He says, "This test will increase the risk to the activities of astronauts on the International Space Station as well as another human spaceflight. Russia's dangerous and irresponsible behavior is going to threaten the stability of space for a long time and will lead to It has also become clear that Russia's claims of opposing the weaponization of space are hypocritical. The US, along with its allies, will respond to their irresponsible actions."

 

'This test is kind of crazy

The BBC's science correspondent Jonathan Amos says, "This anti-satellite missile test is a kind of madness. It is impossible to control the debris produced by the high-speed impact, it has created thousands of pieces of debris and many will come down towards the earth, but many will remain in space and affect the mission of all countries including Russia in the future.

 

"What would the Russian astronauts aboard the space station have thought when they had to hide in their capsules on Monday to avoid debris?"

 

"The garbage in space is just increasing. For 64 years, one after the other movements have been carried out over our heads, which means that millions of pieces are moving uncontrollably in space. Their size ranges from 1 cm to 10 cm.

 

"Such activities will have an impact on satellites related to weather and telecommunications. Countries need to clean the space environment and not pollute it further.

 

How big will the loss be?

 

Countries like India, America, Russia, and China are capable of ejecting satellites from orbit from the earth itself.

 

It is a very rare event to test such a missile, whenever it happens it is heavily criticized because it pollutes the space environment for everyone.

 

When China destroyed one of its inactive weather satellites in 2007, it created more than 2,000 pieces of debris in space. This posed a constant threat not only to China but also to the already ongoing space missions of other countries.

 

Space expert Brian Weiden has already said that if it is confirmed that Russia conducted a test that jeopardized the ISS, it would be "more than an irresponsible attitude".

 

The space station is in an orbit from which other people try to keep away any kind of equipment, whether it is active or inactive.

 

However, astronauts have to take precautionary measures when they suddenly come close to pieces of satellites and rockets.

 

The speed of these pieces is so fast that they can easily pierce the walls of the station.

 

As a precautionary measure, astronauts usually close the hatch between the modules.

 

Or they go into their capsule or the spacecraft that took them to the station.

 

When astronauts are working in space, their capsules are attached to the space station so that they can sit on them like lifeboats in case of emergency.
