The situation is becoming increasingly alarming: Russia may attack another Western satellite
A recent incident involving two satellites in Earth's orbit raised concerns about potential military actions. The Russian satellite Kosmos-2612 approached the ICEYE commercial Earth observation satellite, which is used for national security purposes, including support for Ukraine. Military experts suggest this maneuver could indicate a practice for an attack. Greg Gillinger, an aerospace analyst, described this as the most aggressive action by a Russian satellite against another country's satellite. The Kosmos-2612 is officially listed as a maintenance satellite but is one of six military satellites launched by Russia. Following the incident, ICEYE had to maneuver its satellite to avoid a collision. Additionally, two other Russian satellites are reportedly heading towards another ICEYE satellite, X37.
