    Fascinating... Trump's Legal team gave a "great" press conference at the "Four Seasons" in Philadelphia. Well, not the hotel. They accidently booked the "Four Seasons Landscaping" - located between a sex shop and a crematory. You can't make this up...

    This is not over. For we shall mount our righteous stand at Four Seasons Total Landscaping. Next to Fantasy Island Adult Books. Across the street from the Delaware Valley Cremation Center. Between the fire extinguisher and yellow hose.

    It appears that COSMOS 2473, launched 2011-09-20, may have failed around the end of June and is now drifting uncontrolled in GEO.

    No indication of collision. 👍 CZ-4C R/B passed over LeoLabs Kiwi Space Radar 10 minutes after TCA. Our data shows only a single object as we'd hoped, with no signs of debris. We will follow up in the coming days on Medium with a full in-depth risk assessment of this event!

    As a reminder: Parus navigation satellites are ~2 meters in diameter and have a gravity gradient boom extending to 17 meters. And both objects are not able to change their orbits.

    Gunter Krebs  🚀  🛰 Retweeted LeoLabs, Inc.

    The upcoming close conjunction between the Russian Kosmos-2004 (Parus) satellite and an Chinese CZ-4C upper stage on 16 Oct remains very concerning. The predicted distance is ~12 meters with a collision probability >10%.

    Gunter Krebs  🚀  🛰 added,

    1/ This event continues to be very high risk and will likely stay this way through the time of closest approach. Our system generates new conjunction reports 6-8x per day on this event with new observation data each time.
