🇷🇺 TWO RUSSIAN STARLINK RIVALS FALLING OUT OF ORBIT
- Two Russian Rassvet satellites are rapidly losing altitude after failing to raise their orbits, with one now at roughly 245 km and potentially facing reentry within weeks.
- Built by Bureau 1440 as Russia’s Starlink alternative, Rassvet has launched 38 satellites but continues to face propulsion failures and limited coverage, with commercial service pushed to 2027 at the earliest.
