As specified in the IPM, on March 12 at 16:54:16 Moscow time, the Luch-5B space repeater is expected to approach the space debris object - the Titan 3C upper stage at a distance of about 6,464 m
MOSCOW, February 25. /tass/. By March 15, Russian satellites will approach the spacecraft of the USSR and Russia three times by less than 3 km. This is stated in the message of the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IPM).
"In the 10-day interval (from 02/25/2022 - 03/15/2022), rendezvous with spacecraft at a distance of less than 3 km is predicted: on March 6, 2022 at 20:35:31 Moscow Time, the distance between the Yamal-401 spacecraft and the old Soviet communications satellite Cosmos-1897 will be 2,900 m. Twice: On March 11 and 12, 2022, at about 21 o'clock Moscow time, two "Express Trains" will converge: "Express-AM33" will approach Express-AM44 at a relative distance of about 3,000 m," the institute said in an Instagram post.
As specified in the IPM, on March 12 at 16:54:16 Moscow time, the Luch-5B space repeater is expected to approach the space debris object - the Titan 3C upper stage at a distance of about 6,464 m.
A photo of six satellites is also attached to the publication, which was taken by the IPM telescope in Multa (Altai Republic). "Such a close location is associated with the "overpopulation" of the so-called working orbits of near-Earth space, which makes our work on the development of the principles of space traffic management (the rules of conduct for Space Traffic Management strategy) more relevant," the institute noted.
