Astronauts Shelter as Russian Satellite Breaks into 100 Pieces | WION Podcast

A defunct Russian satellite, Resurs-P1, exploded into over 100 pieces of debris, causing a temporary scare for astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The explosion, which occurred in low-Earth orbit, led to the crew taking shelter for nearly an hour. While no immediate threat to other satellites was detected, the incident raised concerns about the growing issue of space junk. The satellite had been inactive since 2022, and the cause of the explosion remains unclear. As the debris continues to pose a risk, experts warn of the potential for more collisions, highlighting the dangers of the Kessler effect. #russia #space #wionpodcast About Channel: WION The World is One News examines global issues with in-depth analysis.
