A satellite belonging to multinational service provider Intelsat mysteriously broke up in geostationary orbit over the weekend.
Suddenly or was it hit by something?
I mean, if you get hit by something, that tends to happen suddenly.
I mean as in intentional targeted hitting
It might have been hit by something. Or it could have had a failure and blown itself up. The history of these buses and some previous observations on this satellite, plus Boeing being involved, makes me inclined to think it blew itself up.
