Russian spying satellite may be monitored by its space "colleague" from the USA

Both military satellites on Thursday, August 4, will be at a very close distance from each other. Russia sent to space on Monday, August 1, the Space Satellite 2558 so that he may have monitored the same USA military satellite called "USA 326". About it writes Space. The publication writes that even before the Russian satellite was launched into space, it was rumored that it is a sampling satellite, whose main task is to monitor a similar American spacecraft.

According to Roscosmos reports in the official Telegram-channel, on August 1, shortly before midnight, the Soyuz rocket launched from the Plesetskaya Space Space with a "spacecraft developed in favor of the Ministry of Defense of Russia. " The name of this apparatus "Space 2558".

According to Mark Langbrok, a blogger from the Netherlands, who is tracking the flights of military satellites in space, rumors that the Russian sampling satellite will be monitored by the USA 326 USA 326 military satellite. According to Langbrok, the Russian military satellite was launched into the same orbital plane as his American "colleague", which went into space on board Falcon 9 SpaceX.

Langbrok claims that both satellites are very close, and on August 4, they can approach even more if no changes in their orbits occur. "With the current orbit, Space 2558 satellite will make the satellite with the USA 326 satellite on the evening of August 4. The model distance between them will be 75 km," Langbrok wrote. At the same time, as Space writes, the American satellite is an interesting space object.

According to Astrophysicist Jonathan McDauel from Harvard-Smithson Astrophysics, a few days ago a secret American military satellite sent a "smaller satellite, or a fragment. " Space writes that the assumption that a Russian satellite can monitor the American spacecraft is not surprising. Two years ago, two Russian satellites were already maneuvering 160 km from the USA 245 American satellite.

Then it caused indignation from the US military who calculated similar actions of Russian apparatus a real tracking of their companion. As Langbrok wrote in his blog, "it will be interesting to watch two satellites in the coming weeks to find out what will really happen. " As the focus has already wrote, in May this year, the Secret Russian Satellite "Cosmos-2555" with the letter Z burned in the atmosphere. He was in space for only 20 days.
