“Starlink” posted on its social media account on the 19th that on the 17th, the satellite's orbital altitude dropped rapidly by 4,000 meters. Currently, the satellite remains largely intact, is rolling over, and is expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and completely burn out within a few weeks. The company is working with the US Space Force and NASA to monitor satellite debris. The tracking satellite agency Australian Low Earth Orbit Laboratory said it had discovered “dozens of pieces” of debris that may be the wreckage of the accident, and more debris may also be discovered. This satellite's debris could pose a threat to other satellites in orbit.
