Intelsat's 33e satellite stopped functioning due to an "anomaly" and was subsequently declared a total loss, prompting coordination with Boeing and government agencies to analyze the event.
Intelsat has created a board for a comprehensive analysis of the anomaly while dealing with its satellite's breakup, marking another setback for Boeing amid other recent challenges.
U.S. Space Force confirmed the breakup of Intelsat 33e, stating they are tracking around 20 pieces of debris while ensuring there's no immediate threat to space sustainability.
The Intelsat 33e satellite had already faced previous issues, including propulsion problems shortly after launch, which ultimately reduced its lifespan significantly.
