Representative depiction of DMSP breakup event

Id: 71

Published: 01/08/2025

Description:

This animation illustrates a hypothetical breakup of a Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellite due to an explosion, demonstrating the dispersion of resulting debris fragments. The video highlights how these fragments spread apart, creating potential hazards for other operational satellites in orbit. Such depictions underscore the importance of understanding fragmentation events to mitigate risks to space assets.
