A US military satellite exploded after detecting an unexplained “sudden spike in temperature”, sending dozens of chunks of debris tumbling into different orbits around Earth. ===== Air Force Space Command confirmed to SpaceNews.com that the “catastrophic event” came after “a sudden spike in temperature” was detected, followed by “an unrecoverable loss of attitude control”.
While operators were deciding how to “render the vehicle safe” they detected a debris cloud which indicated that the satellite had been destroyed.

Well, since it was a military satellite, it would be interesting if it was, itself, a killer satellite and something happened causing it to off itself. Laser power overdrive or something like that. It was a military weather statillite that had been declassified a number of years ago and was providing data for civilian use.

The Chinese tried out laser blinding of satellites in the past ten years or so; Brezhnev was trying it out when Ford was in the White House.

The chicoms have already “shot down” one satellite I think?

Sounds like someone’s testing their laser anti-sat weapon to me.

I’m looking for a pic of the opening scene of “Real Genius” where Khadafi gets lasered in his chair, poolside.

“A US military satellite exploded after detecting an unexplained “sudden spike in temperature”...”
At first I read this as it was programmed to explode itself when it detected an increase in temperature. I hope my pickup truck doesn’t have that option!
