SpaceX rare disclosure of satellite loss incident

According to the official account of "Starlink," on Wednesday of this week, the 35956th Starlink satellite experienced an abnormal incident and lost contact at a distance of 418 kilometers from the ground. The abnormality caused a leak in the satellite's propellant tank, leading to a rapid descent of 4 kilometers and the release of a small amount of debris. The company disclosed that the overall structure of the satellite is basically intact, currently in a tumbling state, and will reenter the Earth's atmosphere and completely burn up within the next few weeks. SpaceX is currently coordinating with the U.S. Space Force and NASA to monitor these objectives.
