An Intelsat communication satellite built by Boeing has exploded and broken up in geostationary orbit. Intelsat confirmed the news in a press release, declaring the satellite a "total loss." The US Space Force said it is tracking around 20 associated pieces but "has observed no immediate threats" to other satellites so far (Roscosmos said it was tracking 80 fragments).

A communications satellite has been lost in Earth’s geostationary orbit, breaking up into several pieces of debris after an “anomaly” occurred over the weekend. Intelsat 33e, also known as IS-33e, was reported to be out of service on Saturday,

An Intelsat satellite is thought to have been destroyed in its orbit around the Earth, affecting satellite service worldwide. The satellite, named Intelsat 33e or IS-33e, lost power on October 19 due to an "anomaly,

During the weekend, a Boeing-built communications satellite, IS-33e, operated by Intelsat, mysteriously broke apart in geostationary orbit. Intelsat reports that an anomaly was responsible for this incident, which resulted in a total loss of the satellite.

According to Russian experts, the incident was "instantaneous and high-energy in nature." As a result, more than 80 fragments were recorded, which pose a potential threat to all nearby geostationary spacecraft,

The company said the satellite had stopped working due to an "anomaly," and declared it a "total loss" on Monday. Intelsat is now working with Boeing and relevant government agencies to determine the cause of this unexpected event.

An Intelsat internet satellite has mysteriously broken apart in Earth's orbit, raising concerns about the cause and the risk of space debris colliding with other satellites. On Saturday, the Intelsat 33e satellite experienced an “anomaly,

This follows the failure of another satellite from the same series that may have been due to a meteoroid impact.
