Russia ASAT Test (15/11/21) debris visualisation

On 15 November 2021, an inactive Russian satellite was struck by a Russian anti-satellite (ASAT) missile test. UK Orbital Analysts simulated the event and the debris it created, using a breakup model originally developed by NASA. NB: The simulated debris shown in the video is only that generated by the ASAT test – it does not show all of the approximately 11,000 other pieces of trackable (over 10cm) debris in this orbit already. This video also only shows the ISS – there are of course many other spacecraft operating in Low Earth Orbit – including the Chinese Space Station (also crewed) and UK-licensed satellites. All of these other spacecraft are also expected to be at risk from colliding with the debris from this event for several years.
