As news of the Virgin Galactic crash, Antares explosion and Rosetta
exploration filled science pages, another space drama has quietly
unfurled. In May, Russia launched a rocket to add several satellites to
its existing constellation. In the process, it deployed what was first
believed to be a piece of space debris but has now become a matter of
great speculation[1].Russia did not declare its orbit, and now the U.S.
military, space experts and amateur sleuths have been closely tracking
its movements, each of which has been deliberate and precise. The
unidentified satellite — called Object 2014-28E — recently navigated
toward other Russian space objects, its voyage culminating in its
recent hookup with the remains of the rocket stage that originally
launched it.There are whispers it could be the return of the ‘satellite
killer’[2]. The Soviet anti-satellite weaponry program called
“Istrebitel Sputnikov” in the 1960s was believed to be permanently
retired by the Soviet Union's collapse.

So, given the state of things, we'll find out soon enough, I'm sure.
