A Russian satellite, Resurs P1, experienced a low-intensity explosion on June 26, creating over 100 pieces of debris in low Earth orbit. The cause of the explosion is still unknown, but analysis by LeoLabs suggests it was likely due to a collision or internal malfunction. This event rules out speculation of an anti-satellite weapons test. Although the main satellite remains intact, its solar panels failed to fully deploy before the breakup. The debris poses a hazard to other satellites and space stations in orbit. This incident highlights the ongoing risk of defunct spacecraft in space, with over 2,500 similar objects potentially facing a similar fate. The debris fragments are expected to remain in orbit for "weeks to months" before decaying. Resurs P1, decommissioned in 2021, is set to reenter the Earth's atmosphere later this year as its orbit decays.
