By TG: "Two additional satellites of the "sovereign analog" Starlink have begun falling to Earth. Two more devices of the Rassvet satellite constellation, which Russian authorities position as a "sovereign analog" of Starlink, are falling to the ground and will soon burn up in dense layers of the atmosphere. Astronautics researcher Anatoly Zak writes about this, referring to space observation data. Out of 17 satellites sent into orbit in July as part of the second "bundle" launch, three never reached a stable altitude of about 500 km, Zak notes. Two of them are falling: the object Rassvet-30-17, according to calculations, will enter the dense layers of the atmosphere on Saturday, October 31; the object Rassvet-3-23 - within 78 hours after November 6. Another satellite, which had been losing altitude since mid-August, resumed orbit-raising maneuvers in September. Most of the remaining satellites are "stable" at an altitude of about 500 km, says astronomer Jonathan McDowell. In the first "bundle" at the end of March, the company involved in the project, Bureau 1440, launched 17 devices. One of them never reached the intended orbit and fell in early June. 14 devices began forming a chain at an altitude of just over 500 km. However, not a single satellite reached the expected altitude of 800 km, Zak noted. It was this orbit that Bureau 1440 had designated as the target orbit.
