Secret Russian military satellites have released a mysterious object in space: what is known

To spread: the trio of secret Russian satellites launched in February this year released into orbit an unknown object that intrigued US experts on tracking spacecraft. Space writes about it. Three Russian military satellites called "Cosmos-2581", "Space-2582" and "Cosmos-2583" launched the Soyuz-2. 1B rocket launcher, which started from Plesetsk's space-2, February 2.

Since then, the satellites whose appointment have been unknown have been demonstrated by a strange behavior, being in an altitude of about 585 km above the Earth's surface. In focus. Technology has appeared its Telegram channel.

The American astrophysicist and a specialist in tracking the movement of spacecraft in orbit, Jonathan McDauelle believes that in March secret Russian satellites, apparently, conducted potential operations for rapprochement or maneuvered near other objects in space.

According to McDAZELL, the US space forces recorded the emergence of a new object in orbit, which may have been released on March 18 by Space-2581 satellite. Russia has not provided any details about satellites and their mission. The released object can be used for a number of tasks, including military experiments, such as observation of other satellites, testing of docking technologies or group flight. It can also be used to test the technology of destruction of satellites in orbit, experts say.

On the other hand, it is believed that this object can be a useful scientific load, even the result of unintentional destruction of one of the satellites. The designation of "Space" was used by the USSR and then Russia, for a very wide range of military and scientific satellites since 1962.

It is believed that these satellites are part of secret scientific and secret military projects, which, in particular, concerns research aimed at testing the technologies of sipping weapons and monitoring other satellites, and are used for intelligence. The trio of Russian satellites in orbit is not unusual. Both the US and China have also sent numerous satellite sets into space in such a configuration, many of which are considered intelligence.

It is still necessary to see that three Russian satellites in orbit and the mysterious object they released will be done. According to Focus, the European Space Agency has found a replacement of the Russian rocket and a landing module that should be delivered to Mars a unique rover. Focus also wrote that scientists have found a form of life that can survive in the extreme conditions of Mars.
