The second satellite from the Rasbet constellation, which is developed by the Russian company Bureau-1440, left orbit and burned up in the atmosphere. The satellite is called Rasbet-3-17, it was launched on July 19, 2026, along with 15 other similar instruments. The device never managed to start the engine, which was supposed to increase its height. The initial mission of this satellite, like the other RASATs, was to enter a reference orbit of 500 kilometers. 26 satellites have reached it, four more continue to climb. Once everyone reaches their destination, the constellation will have to begin a synchronized maneuver to reach final orbits at an altitude of about 800 kilometers. By next year, Russia planned to launch not three dozen (as now), but even three hundred such devices. And if it does happen, it could fundamentally change the balance of power on the battlefield.
