Does the staff officer in charge of tracking it just check that block on a clipboard and move on to the next task? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Space is huge, but there is a whole lot of stuff in pretty close proximity to earth. last I saw there are approx 20,000 objects of baseball size or larger in orbit. Back in '09 there was an accidental collision between a half ton US comms sat and some old shut down one ton russian sat. things hit eachother at around 25,000 mph. Few years ago the ISS actually had to adjust it's orbit to avoid one of the debris fragments from the collision. LEO is getting crowded. |

It's just that instead of C = speed of light, it equales speed. So when you get to ~20,000 MPH and square it, it dosent take much mass to produce a lot of energy. |

DMSP-F13.
Interestingly, DMSP-F11 suffered a similar fate in 2004. According to this paper: 1.5% of break ups are due to collision with debris, 4% are due to battery problems, 45% due to propulsion failures, 29% due to deliberate action, and the remaining 20% are unexplained. That paper (from 2008) details the breakup of nearly 200 satellites. The tables starting on page 30 are interesting. A lot of "DELIBERATE. SELF-DESTRUCT". But also a couple "DELIBERATE HYPERVELOCITY IMPACT"
