It also won’t affect the company’s Transporter-16 mission, which launched with small satellites from its clients on March 30. In its statement, SpaceX also said that it will monitor any trackable debris, indicating that the satellite is no longer in one piece. LeoLabs, an American company tracking satellites in Low Earth Orbit, said it detected a [...]
