Our Operations Centres are monitoring a potential collision of two large, inactive #space objects. EU #SST estimates a probability above 1% that they may collide in two days👇
The two defunct objects are OPS 6182 (1978-042A), a meteorological #satellite🌧️🛰️ and rocket body🚀 SL-8 R/B (1981-041B). The network of EU #SST sensors📡 has been requested to observe the objects and provide additional measurements.
Stay tuned here for more updates. #spacedebris
