A communications satellite built by Boeing has fallen apart while in orbit, as reported earlier by Jalopnik. On Saturday, Intelsat said its 33e satellite stopped working due to an “anomaly” before confirming its “total loss” on Monday.

The Boeing-made Intelsat 33e communications satellite broke apart in orbit, disrupting services in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. This event adds to the growing issue of space d

An Intelsat internet satellite has mysteriously broken apart in Earth's orbit, raising concerns about the cause and the risk of space debris colliding with other satellites. On Saturday, the Intelsat 33e satellite experienced an “anomaly,

According to Russian experts, the incident was "instantaneous and high-energy in nature." As a result, more than 80 fragments were recorded, which pose a potential threat to all nearby geostationary spacecraft,

Boeing-built Intelsat 33e just collapsed in orbit, leaving roughly 20 fragments swirling through space in its wake.

The company said the satellite had stopped working due to an "anomaly," and declared it a "total loss" on Monday. Intelsat is now working with Boeing and relevant government agencies to determine the cause of this unexpected event.

"We are coordinating with the satellite manufacturer, Boeing, and government agencies to analyse data and observations," Intelsat said. Boeing did not comment directly on the incident, referring BBC News to Intelsat's statements.

An Intelsat satellite is thought to have been destroyed in its orbit around the Earth, affecting satellite service worldwide. The satellite, named Intelsat 33e or IS-33e, lost power on October 19 due to an "anomaly,

This follows the failure of another satellite from the same series that may have been due to a meteoroid impact.
