Russian satellite breaks up into 100 pieces; Here is what it means for Boeing and Sunita William's space project

A defunct Russian Earth observation satellite, the RESURS-P1, has fragmented into over 100 pieces of space debris. This event necessitated astronauts aboard the International Space Station to seek shelter for approximately one hour. The incident contributes to the growing issue of space junk orbiting Earth. The cause of the satellite's breakup, which had been declared non-functional since 2022, has not been disclosed yet.
