KOROLYOV (Moscow Region), February 13 (RIA Novosti) - The remnants of
the U.S. and Russian satellites that collided on Tuesday poses a
serious threat to other satellites on the same orbit, a Russian
Mission Control official told journalists on Friday.
"800 kilometers is a very popular orbit for remote Earth sensing and
telecommunications satellites," said Vladimir Solovyov, head of the
Russian segment of the International Space Station.
"There are a lot of communications satellites there, many of them
still in operation. There are 66 Iridium series satellites alone on
that orbit. The cloud [of debris] from the collision is a serious
threat to them," he said
