On February 4, 2013 Dr. Vasiliy Yurasov and Dr. Andrey Nazarenko, working with the Institute for Precision Instrument Engineering (IPIE) in Moscow, reported to CSSI a significant change in the orbit for their BLITS satellite. IPIE had detected a sudden decrease of 120 m in the semi-major axis of its orbit and a change in its spin velocity and attitude. Prior to the event, BLITS had a spin axis perpendicular to the orbit plane and had a stable spin period of 5.6 sec.
Drs. Yurasov and Nazarenko’s analysis, based on optical and photometric analysis (since they are no longer able to perform laser tracking), estimated that the change occurred on January 22, 2013 at approximately 07:57 UTC. They assume these changes might have been the result of a collision with another object in orbit. They were also able to determine a new spin period of 2.1 sec.
CSSI reviewed the SOCRATES archives to determine whether there were any close approaches around the reported time. Using the SOCRATES archive generated January 22, 2013 CSSI discovered that only one close approach occurred for BLITS - piece of Chinese weather satellite FENGYUN 1C which was deliberately destroyed almost six years ago. The Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) released the first TLE for debris associated with BLITS (NORAD Catalog Number 39119) via the Space Track web site on 2013 March 3, further confirming CSSI’s analysis.
On January 11, 2007, the intentional destruction of the Chinese weather satellite Fengyun-1C as part of an anti-satellite missile test created a significant field of space debris. Two years later, a defunct Russian military satellite struck an operational American Iridium satellite over northern Siberia, blowing even more trash into space.
