The whole party from 16 satellites of the "Rassvet-3" project, launched 19 July 2026 year, failed to reach or maintain the planned altitude of low Earth orbit (close 800 km). According to US space forces, the devices are at an altitude of 300–400 km. In such orbits, atmospheric resistance significantly shortens their service life, which will inevitably lead to entry into the atmosphere and combustion. […]
