Satellitenkollision?
10.03.2009 um 12:47Kollision über Sibirien
Rund 790 Kilometer über dem nördlichen Sibirien sind am Dienstag zwei Satelliten kollidiert. Betroffen waren offenbar ein ausrangierter russischer Satellit sowie ein Satellit des kommerziellen Kommunikationsdienstleisters Iridium. Von beiden Satelliten ist jetzt nur noch ein große Trümmerwolke zu sehen. Nach ersten Analysen scheint die Internationale Raumstation ISS durch die Kollision nicht unmittelbar gefährdet zu sein.

Die Meldung sollte eigentlich auch jeder mitbekommen haben und ist somit auch nicht neu.
Neu ist, dass ein Russischer Militärexperte sich zu Wort gemeldet hat, der nicht an diese version glaubt.
Satellitenkollision: Russischer Militärexperte glaubt nicht an Unfall
Wie SN bereits berichtete, sind über Sibirien ein russischer und ein US-amerikanischer Satellit kollidiert.
Der ehemalige Chef des militärischen russischen Raumnachrichtendienstprogramms, Leonid Shershnev, sagte nun, dass er einen Unfall für unwahrscheinlich hält.
Laut Shershnev sei die Kollision Teil eines Projektes, welches im Juli 2007 offiziell endete. Er glaubt, dass die USA nun in der Lage seien, feindliche Satelliten zu zerstören oder zu manipulieren.

DID THE U.S. PLAN LAST MONTH'S COLLISION OF SATELLITES?
DID THE U.S. PLAN THE COLLISION OF SATELLITES?
Some Russians seem to think so.
There’s been some discussion in military space forums about the recent comments from Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Leonid Shershnev, a former head of Russia's military space intelligence, who is suggesting that the recent collision between U.S. and Russian satellites may have not been an accident.
He is suggesting that the early February collision may have been a test of new U.S. technology to intercept and destroy satellites rather than an accident.
Here is the RIA Novosti report on what the General said in Moscow:
“According to official reports, one of 66 satellites owned by Iridium, a U.S. telecoms company, and the Russian Cosmos-2251 satellite, launched in 1993 and believed to be defunct, collided on February 10 about 800 kilometers (500 miles) above Siberia.
However, Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Leonid Shershnev, a former head of Russia's military space intelligence, said in an interview published by the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper on Tuesday that the U.S. satellite involved in the collision was used by the U.S. military as part of the "dual-purpose" Orbital Express research project, which began in 2007.
Orbital Express was a space mission managed by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and a team led by engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC).
According to the DARPA, the program was "to validate the technical feasibility of robotic, autonomous on-orbit refueling and reconfiguration of satellites to support a broad range of future U.S. national security and commercial space programs."
Orbital Express was launched in March 2007 as part of the U.S. Air Force Space Test Program's STP-1 mission. It tested a prototype servicing satellite (ASTRO) and a surrogate next generation serviceable satellite (NextSat). The demonstration program met all the mission success criteria and was officially completed in July 2007.
Shershnev claims the U.S. military decided to continue with the project to "develop technology that would allow monitoring and inspections of orbital spacecraft by fully-automated satellites equipped with robotic devices."
The February collision could be an indication that the U.S. has successfully developed such technology and is capable of manipulating 'hostile satellites,' including their destruction, with a single command from a ground control center, the general said.”
