<center>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ebIAUjFfZM</center> The above video shows a large satellite that has recently gone out-of-control and is breaking into many pieces as it orbits. The satellite operator SES said that they were able to reestablish contact with the satellite in the following statement issued: >In the early hours of 1st July, the SES Satellite Control reestablished contact to AMC-9. SES and the satellite manufacturer Thales are working around the clock to evaluate the status and define the next steps. >Tracking information received on 29 June had suggested that **at least two separate objects** were located in the **vicinity of AMC-9**. Their source has **still to be determined**. The new piece of information was included by Thales and SES in their investigations. >All relevant operators and agencies are being kept informed and will receive regular updates from SES. The current assessment is that there is no risk of a collision with other active satellites. AMC-9 and its status continue to being tracked by SES and agencies, including the Joint Space Operations Centre (JSpOC) and ExoAnalytic, a private firm and tracking service provider. >Since the incident on 17 June 2017, AMC-9 has been slowly moving westwards with its payload disabled and not causing interference. A majority of traffic has been transferred to other SES satellites and SES is working on a long-term plan to minimize disruption to customers. ###### [Source](https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/07/a-large-satellite-appears-to-be-falling-apart-in-geostationary-orbit/) Though SES says there is no risk of impact with other space debris, there is rightful concern that this could possibly start a chain-reaction of space debris collisions. At the very least, it'll be a spectacular show when the pieces reenter the Earth's atmosphere!! <center></center> # Happy 4th of July, Steem!!
