WASHINGTON - Iridium Satellite LLC confirmed today that one of its satellites was destroyed Tuesday in an unprecedented collision with a spent Russian satellite and that the incident could result in limited disruptions of service.

According to an e-mail alert issued by NASA today, Russia?s Cosmos 2251 satellite slammed into the Iridium craft at 11:55 a.m. EST (0455 GMT) over Siberia at an altitude of 490 miles (790 km). The incident was observed by the U.S. Defense Department?s Space Surveillance Network, which later was tracking two large clouds of debris.

yes this is real... but it happened in 2009... earth orbit is getting so full of junk that its starting to look like it did in the movie wall-e

IIRC it caused cell phone service problems... (then again.. what doesnt...)

This one was over 6 tons! and NASA had no idea where it was going to re enter. LOL!

But seriously, Space junk, with the rising alloy recycling prices, it's almost cost effective to go up there and bring it back!....
