Untitled - The Pentagon did not admit to forecasting satellite collision

The United States in service of "Iridium 33" satellite and Russia scrapped the "Universe 2251" satellite collision information is released, the U.S. Department of Defense on the 12th to recognize the "no prediction." Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the United States space joint operations command center monitoring the orbit of space objects as many as 18,000, so much force the command center to track the object had to have a choice. cheap jordan shoes

13, NASA press officer Michael Lachs Morning accept an interview, said NASA still gathering the United States and Russia after the collision of the satellite data to further assess the satellite debris may be brought to other spacecraft threat. "Currently, the NASA spacecraft has 24 faces with the threat of collision of these fragments, which were 24 spacecraft in service." Jerry Blackstone, said, "We are still on the debris and Statistics."

Johnson Space Center Houston, the United States is responsible for the problem of orbital debris chief scientist, said Nicholas Johnson, statistical debris "will take some time" because "When the debris was an hour interval, it is difficult to distinguish between them one by one. Therefore, after a few days we can more clearly accurate data capture. "

"Iridium 33" belongs Iridium spokeswomanCastro on the 13th also sent to the Morning News said in a statement, the company expects in the United States February 13, local time to start implementing solutions.

Russian space experts the authority12 day Igor said, "Iris 33" satellite service in the state before the collision, with a normal engine and the driving force for change in orbit, entirely artificial offset orbit. "This may be a computer or an individual mistake, but it might have because they are just tracking the track near to the neglect of small debris (Russia) satellite failure."

Reuters quoted the same day the French space flight control center, deputy director of Philip Goody as saying that the center previously found that "Iridium 33" and "Universe 2251" will have "close contact", buy jordan shoes but did not issue any warning.

Reuters said that a senior U.S. official refused to answer whether the prediction to the crash, stressed that "for many reasons."
