If your broadband connectivity faltered recently, the cause may be far above the Earth. On October 19, 2024, the <keyword id="23654638" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Intelsat-33e" source="keywords">Intelsat 33e</keyword> satellite experienced a catastrophic event in <keyword id="20509348" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="geostationary-orbit" source="keywords">geostationary orbit</keyword>, breaking into at least 20 pieces. This fragmentation was later confirmed to have generated over 57 pieces of <keyword id="20715750" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="space-debris" source="keywords">space debris</keyword>. The satellite’s sudden disintegration impacted certain broadband and connectivity services in Asia, Europe and Africa. While the satellite wasn’t widely used for everyday home broadband, its services were vital for specific sectors. <keyword id="21479073" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Intelsat" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Intelsat" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Intelsat">Intelsat</keyword> 33e was a critical part of Intelsat’s EpicNG network, delivering high-throughput broadband for inflight Wi-Fi, maritime connectivity, and business communications. It even supported broadband for airlines in India through a partnership with Tata's Nelco. However, the incident that occurred on October 19 resulted in a loss of power and service to Intelsat’s customers. In a statement released by the company, Intesat said that they were assessing their fleet’s capacity as well as working with third-party providers to mitigate service interruptions. Intelsat representatives were in direct communication with all affected customers, it further said. <h2>What caused the satellite to break apart? </h2>Instances of deliberate satellite destructions, accidental collisions and violent solar activity have all been documented in the past. But the exact cause of the satellite's breakup is still under investigation. Notably, Intelsat 33e, designed and manufactured by <keyword id="23663703" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Boeing-Space-Systems" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Boeing Space Systems" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Boeing Space Systems">Boeing Space Systems</keyword>, has had a history of propulsion problems. Soon after its launch in 2016, the satellite faced thruster issues, which reduced its operational lifespan. Such malfunctions may have contributed to the satellite’s structural failure over time. In fact, the Boeing-built EpicNG 702MP satellite bus has experienced failures in the past, including one in 2019. At the moment, it remains unclear whether this was an isolated incident or part of a larger mechanical failure. Regardless of the root cause, the most pressing issue left by the incident is the generation of space debris, which presents risks for other operational satellites. <h2>Growing pile of space junk </h2>The breakup of Intelsat 33e adds to a growing concern: space debris. With over 57 pieces of the 6,600 kilogram satellite now floating in geostationary orbit, the risk to other satellites and space assets has increased. Space junk can cause significant damage to operational satellites by colliding with them at high speeds. Each collision generates even more debris, creating a dangerous cascade effect known as the Kessler syndrome, where space becomes increasingly congested and hazardous for future missions. While steps are being taken to track and mitigate space debris, incidents like this one highlight the growing urgency for better space traffic management and debris removal solutions. As we rely more on satellite infrastructure for global communication, the safety and sustainability of space have never been more critical. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="114292761" title="The sun is at its 11-year maximum.

Did you experience wonky broadband service recently? A broken satellite in space might have something to do with it!

The nature of the system most <keyword id="44023" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="60" keywordseo="airlines">airlines</keyword> use – where antennas on the ground beam signals up to aircraft – is largely to blame. Those signals often can't penetrate bad weather, and service is limited outside of North America or when <keyword id="52392" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Flying">flying</keyword> over water.But now, Gogo Commercial Aviation — the arm of the company that provides that so often frustrating experience to commercial travelers — is being acquired in a $400 million deal by satellite service provider Intelsat. And the result could be that in-flight WiFi sees a major boost in quality and reliability, offering a "living room" experience. And you just might get it for free.The key here is shifting from the ground-based system to one that uses satellites. Gogo was already working with airlines to retrofit aircraft with high-speed 2kU antennas. Thanks to the acquisition, that system — once complete — will have the direct backing of Intelsat's vast satellite network. The current system involves Gogo buying bulk and often unused capacity from service providers. Now Intelsat, as the provider, will be able to direct capacity to where it's needed and boost in-flight connectivity while keeping costs down by cutting out the middleman."Intelsat is the largest satellite company in the world," Gogo CEO Oakleigh Thorne told Business Insider. "I can't imagine a better partner for our CA [commercial aviation] business than somebody who has all that capacity."The $400 million deal comes amid a financial restructuring for Intelsat that required the approval of its creditors and the use of debtor-in-possession financing. A Richmond, Virginia bankruptcy court approved the transaction on Monday with no opposition, allowing the deal to move forward with a proposed closing time frame of early 2021.<h2>Expanding coverage and potentially making in-flight WiFi free</h2>The end game for Intelsat is offering gate-to-gate, satellite-based WiFi so that passengers don't experience a gap in service at any point during a trip. Satellite-based WiFi systems have fewer outages than ground systems since antennas are always pointing up toward the satellites, regardless of where the aircraft is, whether on the ground or in the air.Nearly every major airline offers in-flight WiFi, but passengers have never been willing to pay up in serious numbers. By cutting Gogo out of the process, CEO Stephen Spengler told Business Insider, Intelsat can offer the service at a lower cost to airlines which could result in lower prices for passengers looking to browse the web while cruising along at 35,000 feet."We have the ability within our company to leverage the owner economics and scale, and the flexibility we can provide," Spengler told Business Insider.And the cost-savings that vertical integration will bring might even mean free WiFi for passengers. Airlines have not hidden their desperation to get flyers back in the air, with the<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-big-3-us-airlines-drop-change-ancillary-fees-passengers-2020-8"> big three US carriers also permanently eliminating change fees</a>. A complimentary in-flight WiFi offering may be another selling point to help flyers get back in the air and speed up aviation's recovery. Today, JetBlue is the only US carrier offering in-flight WiFi for free. Gogo currently partners with T-Mobile to offer complimentary in-flight WiFi to the cellular carrier's customers on airlines like American and Delta but the service is often limited to an hour of use.<h2>Gogo sticks to private aircraft</h2>The pandemic has crippled Gogo's in-flight WiFi business, as airlines suffer record low passenger numbers. But the company had begun thinking about parting with its commercial aviation division even before the pandemic hit. "We were actually thinking about this process prior to March," Thorne said, noting that the pandemic put the sale on hold until the summer, when the company could stabilize its cost structure. Gogo will keep its business aviation sector and use the proceeds of the sale to reduce its $1.2 billion debt and expand a 5G system that will boost the ability of current air-to-ground networks on which business and smaller commercial aircraft depend, Thorne said. The smaller aircraft frequently used by the private aviation sector often can't accommodate satellite antennas.Private aviation is a smaller market than the commercial side, but it is growing as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-private-aviation-execs-are-preparing-for-business-travel-loss-2020-9">more wealthy travelers eschew commercial flights and operators take on more planes to keep up with demand</a>. Many customers are first-time private flyers, who expect in-flight connectivity for the price they're paying to charter an entire aircraft. The deal also gives Intelsat exclusive access to Gogo's air to ground system for 10 years to serve smaller commercial aircraft, subject to Intelsat meeting revenue guarantees, while Gogo gets favored status when buying satellite capacity for its business aircraft that can handle a satellite antenna, Thorne said. Flyers won't immediately notice a difference, as Intelsat will be able to use the Gogo name for up to two years, according to Thorne, with no lapse in service as the changeover occurs. But if all goes well, it may not be too long before you never have to worry about missing your midair connection.

Gogo and Intelsat CEOs reveal why their $400 million deal could soon make in-flight WiFi free — and good

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Russia moved close to a satellite which some think is Eutelsat's 3B craft, analysts said.</li><li>It follows a pattern of Russian behavior in space that has prompted security concerns. </li></ul>Russia moved one of its satellites uncomfortably close to France's Eutelsat 3B communications satellite, possibly to spy on it, according to reports.On October 5, a Russian spacecraft, known as Luch-5X or Olymp-K-2, slowed down after moving within 60 kilometers (37 miles) of another satellite in geostationary orbit, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.slingshotaerospace.com/luch5x">US intel firm Slingshot Aerospace</a>."We predicted where we thought it would stop, and lo and behold, it did actually stop there," Audrey Schaffer, Slingshot Aerospace's vice president for strategy and policy, <a target="_blank" href="https://breakingdefense.com/2023/10/second-russian-luch-olymp-satellite-now-trailing-western-systems-in-orbit/">told Breaking Defense</a>.Slingshot Aerospace did not specify the name of the satellite. However, TJ Kouri, the head of space object visualization firm DigitalArsenal.io, believes Luch-5X/Olymp-K-2 is stationed near the Eutelsat 3B satellite, a commercial communications satellite built by Airbus in France, according to a <a target="_blank" href="https://affiliate.insider.com?h=938a6ff11f3c53f65e898d45836f1e8c94a70ac5bb1962ed7ddfc7b18e1f3eef&amp;postID=6538db17cf767c5e2eb31097&amp;postSlug=russia-satellite-luch-olymp-moved-close-eutelsat-report-spy-defense-2023-10&amp;site=bi&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fposts%2Ftj-k-5754554_ssa-space-luch-activity-7120187196405395456-d2X7%2F%3Futm_source%3Dshare%26utm_medium%3Dmember_ios">Facebook.</a>Eutelsat's 3B satellite provides broadband, data, telecom, and video services across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and South America.Luch-5-X/Olymp-K-2 also recently lingered near Eutelsat's 9B satellite, which provides satellite coverage across Europe for TV channels, per Kouri."What you're seeing is behavior that could be considered unfriendly," said Schaffer, who has previously served as the director of space policy at the National Security Council, per Breaking Defense.Luch-5-X/Olymp K-2 isn't close enough to crash into the unnamed commercial satellite. The distance at which it is parked wouldn't trigger the collision detectors aboard the non-Russian satellite, Breaking Defense reported.However, the main concern is that it might be spying on sensitive intelligence information."Just because it's not close enough to be a safety threat doesn't mean it doesn't potentially present a security threat," Schaffer told <a target="_blank" href="https://spacenews.com/slingshot-aerospace-harnessing-ai-to-track-suspicious-satellites/">spacenews.com.</a>"If you are a commercial communication satellite company you may not want a Russian spy satellite listening in on your communications," she added, per spacenews.com.The behavior is not altogether unexpected. Analysts said it is reminiscent of another Luch Olymp Russian spacecraft that caused a stir in 2015 after<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/heres-what-putin-was-likely-doing-as-a-kgb-spy-in-germany-2015-6"> it approached commercial intelligence satellites</a> from US firm Intelsat.This "well-known GEO [geostationary Earth Orbit] inspector satellite" also caused concern as it loitered near Intelsat satellites at the beginning of the Ukraine war, per a <a target="_blank" href="https://csis-website-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-public/2023-04/230414_Bingen_Space_Assessment.pdf?VersionId=oMsUS8MupLbZi3BISPrqPCKd5jDejZnJ">space security report</a> from US think tank the Council for Strategic International Studies.Though Luch Olymp K-2's payload is poorly understood, "it likely packs more advanced signals intelligence capabilities and operational techniques," Michael Clont, director of Space Domain Initiatives at Kratos, told spacenews.com.

Though, its unclear whether the internet speed would have been slower had it been used on a larger flight with more than 20 to 30 passengers.The event was held on a JSX jet, a regional carrier that describes itself as a "hop-on jet service." JSX was the first airline to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jet-company-jsx-kissed-frogs-spacex-starlink-wifi-deal-ceo-2022-4">sign a contract</a> with SpaceX for its Starlink internet. Hawaiian Airlines has also <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-spacex-starlink-signs-deal-hawaiian-airline-free-wifi-2022-4">signed an agreement</a> with Elon Musk's company for the satellite service.JSX CEO Alex Wilcox <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jet-company-jsx-kissed-frogs-spacex-starlink-wifi-deal-ceo-2022-4">previously told Insider</a> the carrier chose SpaceX for its small antennas and "kissed a lot of frogs" before the company settled on Starlink. Since SpaceX entered the satellite internet market it has been vying with more established providers, including Viasat and Intelsat.<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-16/musk-elbows-into-in-flight-wi-fi-market-with-small-satellites?srnd=premium&amp;sref=LspfQlRv">Bloomberg previously reported</a> that SpaceX has pitched its internet service to four of the largest airline carriers in the US, including Delta, to no avail. The publication said that Musk's technology uses smaller and lower-flying satellites than competitors, which allows the WiFi signal to arrive faster. But, the smaller satellites might not be enough to power larger planes with more user demand, Bloomberg said. SpaceX has said Starlink can service planes of all sizes.What's more, regulators have <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-starlink-subsidy-bid-rejected-fcc-2022-8">expressed doubt</a> in SpaceX's satellite internet service. In August, the Federal Communications Commission rejected a $866 million subsidy for Starlink, saying the company "failed to demonstrate that the providers could deliver the promised service" and labeling it a "still-developing technology."SpaceX <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-fcc-rejection-starlink-internet-subsidy-leaves-americans-stranded-filing-2022-9#:~:text=SpaceX%20said%20the%20FCC's%20rejection,%22still%2Ddeveloping%20technology.%22">called the FCC decision</a> "grossly unfair" and "contrary to the evidence" the company presented in its bid for the subsidy.Starlink has also branched out into the cruise industry. Last month, Royal Caribbean <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/royal-caribbean-taps-spacexs-starlink-for-internet-on-ships-2022-8">announced</a> it had launched the satellite internet service across its fleet of ships. In the past, the airline and cruise industry have been plagued with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-wi-fi-is-so-expensive-on-cruise-ships-2014-6">historically poor</a> WiFi options for passengers.SpaceX only just received <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/30/23190463/spacex-starlink-satellite-internet-fcc-in-motion-authorized">approval</a> from the FCC to use the Starlink for vehicles in motion in June. But, the service is continuing to grow. Most recently, Musk <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-spacex-t-mobile-starlink-satellites-mobile-cell-phones-2022-8">announced</a> SpaceX is teaming up with T-Mobile to offer its users access to Starlink satellites as soon as next year.Starlink currently has a <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/25/spacexs-starlink-surpasses-400000-subscribers-globally.html">user base</a> of over 400,000 subscribers worldwide.

He's using his position to pressure the company to renegotiate terms in a deal it's facing with the Federal Communications Commission. The stock was up as much as 6.92% in early trading Wednesday. That's after a surge Tuesday, when shares traded as high as 33.98% above the previous day's close, ending trading up 26.2%.It was welcome relief for the otherwise embattled stock, which was down 77.9% since November 18 of last year. That's the day Ajit Pai, chairman of the FCC, said on Twitter that the commission would auction off part of satellite operators' spectrum, some of which Intelsat owns, to be used for 5G.Tepper said in a Tuesday letter to Intelsat's board that the company should push for better terms from the FCC than what it's currently offered for the spectrum. "We are disappointed, to say the least, with the Board's and managment's apparent acquiescence to the broad terms of the FCC's latest proposal," Tepper wrote. The current deal pays Intelsat and other satellite providers $14.7 billion in exchange for forfeiting rights to spectrum, which the government wants to use to construct a 5G network, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/18/david-teppers-appaloosa-hedge-fund-takes-intelsat-stake.html">CNBC reported</a>. Tepper thinks Intelsat is entitled to more. Intelsat is highly leveraged, he wrote, and the FCC's offer must be enough to cover "the full weight of financial and execution risks" involved in offloading spectrum."The token compensation offered to Intelsat is an affront," especially when compared to similar deals reached over the past 10 years, he wrote. Appaloosa joins a number of hedge funds with stakes in Intelsat - though most opened positions last year, before the FCC's proposal to Intelsat disappointed, and have registed substantial losses because of it, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6815eb5c-527e-11ea-8841-482eed0038b1">The Financial Times reported</a>. Yields on Intelsat's $15 billion in debt have ballooned since the FCC battle began, according to The Financial Times.If the company cannot get better terms from the commission, it should forgo a deal altogether, Tepper said Tuesday, and instead file for bankruptcy in order to defend its legal claim to spectrum in court.

Its first batch of satellites was launched in February 2019.The business of providing ultra-high-speed internet services via satellite might sound like science fiction, but the reality is that it's established and fiercely competitive.Despite <a href="https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/oneweb">raising around $3 billion</a> from the likes of Qualcomm and Airbus, as well as SoftBank and Virgin founder Richard Branson, OneWeb is up against the monetary muscle of Jeff Bezos' Project Kuiper and Elon Musk's Starlink.It's also up against established firms in the sector like fellow London-based firm Inmarsat, Paris-based Eutelsat Communications, and Luxembourgian firm Intelsat - the latter of which dates back to 1964.Perhaps mindful of this competition, Japanese tech conglomerate SoftBank <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2019/08/17/softbank-loses-380m-stake-oneweb-british-satellite-start-up/">wrote down its stake OneWeb by a reported £380 million ($450 million) in August 2019</a>.

In <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia">Russia's</a> latest space failure, the accident, meant the Boeing corporation lost an Intelsat satellite that was to provide TV feeds not only the United States but also Europe and Latin America.
"There was an accident during the Zenit rocket launch," a source at the Energia corporation that makes the Zenit-3SL rocket used to lift up the Intelsat satellite told AFP.
"The rocket fell into the Pacific Ocean."
Officials said no one was hurt on the huge Odyssey platform that was once stationed off the oil-rich coast of Norway before being tugged to the Pacific by an international consortium called Sea Launch.
The group said in a statement that it "will establish a Failure Review Oversight Board to determine the root cause of the incident."
Energia chief Vitaly Lopota said the Russian rocket's engine appeared to fail less than a minute after the evening take-off for a still unknown reason.
"We had an abnormal situation – the emergency shutdown of the first stage engine," Mr Lopota told the state RIA Novosti news agency.
"It happened 50 seconds into the flight. We are now looking into what happened."
Other sources said that the Zenit had veered off course from the moment of the blast-off and pointed out that heavy waves had surrounded the Odyssey for several days.
"The rockets detected an abnormal situation linked to platform instability from the very start, and then switched the engines over (to operations) aimed at steering the rocket away from the platform," a space industry source told the Interfax news agency.
Sea Launch has been using the deep-sea platform to perform commercial launches since 1999. There had been only two complete failures out of the 34 missions conducted prior to Friday's launch.
The Intelsat-27 had been originally due to be taken up to its low-Earth orbit on Thursday. Officials said the one day delay was not caused by suspicions about the reliability of the engines or other equipment.
The widely-used Intelsat satellites have 15-year lifespans and service both commercial and state clients.
<keyword id="6358826" type="COUNTRY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Russia">Russia</keyword>'s space programme is especially closely watched now because it now provides the world's only manned link to the International Space Station (ISS).
The country's space programme also leads the world in the number of commercial launches and is used by other nations to put up both private and <keyword id="6359526" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Military">military</keyword> satellites.
The Roscosmos space agency – a direct descendant of Moscow's once-proud Soviet programme that competed against NASA at the height of the Cold War – has been beset by a string of accidents in the past two years that prompted sackings at the top of command.
Russia's most recent setback came in November when it temporarily lost contact with all its non-military satellites as well as the space station because of a vital cable cut.
Other high-profile accidents included the loss of a highly-publicised Mars probe in the Earth's orbit and the loss of a cargo vessel taking up supplies to the ISS.
That August 2011 incident caused delays to a string of manned missions and renewed Moscow's attention on finding an eventual replacement to the workhorse Soyuz rocket.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image">Hootsuite</div></div></div>Hootsuite made a big move last week, hiring Sujeet Kini as its next <keyword id="53346" type="POSITION" weightage="100" keywordseo="CFO">CFO</keyword>. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/hootsuite-hires-sujeet-kini-as-cfo-2015-10">The company's new finance chief</a> moves over from Open Text, Canada's largest publicly traded software company. In his previous role, Kini served as the company's chief accounting officer. In other Hootsuite news, former Open Text CFO Paul Mcfeeters agreed to join the social media management platform's board of directors. Hootsuite allows users to connect to popular social networks through a single dashboard. <h3>Other finance moves</h3>Novelis named Steve Pohl interim CFO. The assignment follows the company's decision to name Steve Fisher as CEO in August. Pohl has worked at the aluminum manufacturer and recycler since 2009 and was named vice president of financial planning and analysis in 2012.PG&amp;E announced that CFO Kent Harvey will retire in 2016. Harvey has worked with the company since 1982 and was named head of finance in 2009. Springleaf Holdings named Scott Parker as its new vice president. He will take over that role and the top finance spot on November 15 when the company files its Form 10-Q. He is replacing Minchung Kgil, who will remain CFO of Springleaf's subsidiaries. David Morton Jr. was promoted to the CFO role at Seagate Technology. He is taking over the role from Patrick O'Malley. Morton has worked with Seagate since 1995 and previously served as treasurer and principal accounting officer.Last week, we reported that Brad Dickerson will be leaving <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/under-armour-cfo-blue-apron-finance-moves-2015-10" title="Under Armour CFO to Blue Apron">Under Armour to take over as the CFO at food and recipe delivery startup Blue Apron</a>.

Hootsuite hires a CFO and other finance moves

<div class="KonaFilter image-container float_right"><div class="image on-image"></div></div>In a note Thursday, Tom Lee highlighted five stocks that investors have written off too soon."We remain constructive on the US and believe 1Q15 results will provide a margin surprise. Our YE 2015 target remains 2,325 and our favorite sectors remain: Consumer Cyclicals/Financials (housing); Technology (capex) and an eventual alpha trade in Energy. We took a look at the list of least liked companies and highlighted 5 potentially representing contrarian ideas."All five stocks are the lowest ranking stocks on the Russell 3000 based on the percentage of buys versus percentage of sells, or "net % of buys less sells." These stocks are all expected to see positive earnings-per-share in 2015 and have positive EPS estimate revisions for Q1.The companies are:<ol><li>Quest Diagnostics (DGX): The company has a network of labs across the country that provide various kinds of medical testing. A string of acquisitions put pressure on the company's balance sheet. "Company should enjoy considerable operating leverage as throughput increases, and can continue 'buying' incremental revenue due to fragmented and dispersed ownership structure of the industry," Lee writes.</li><li>AutoNation (AN): The vehicle retailer posted 17 consecutive quarters of double-digit EPS growth, but S&amp;P and Moody's give its credit their worst possible ratings. Like Quest Diagnostics, it has also spent heavily ($1 billion) on M&amp;A.</li><li>Dun &amp; Bradstreet (DNB): It as a dominant market position in the business information and analytics industry, but significant investment and M&amp;A activity could weigh on EPS growth.</li><li>Guess?, Inc (GES): Management provided positive guidance for revenues in 2015 and 2016, but the general trend of less mall traffic and a strong dollar make investors skeptical.</li><li>Intelsat (I): The company has $10 billion in contracted backlog and 75% +EBITDA margins, 2015 guidance was weaker than expected, and it has delayed the launched of three new satellites.</li></ol> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/stock-seasonality-trends-debunked-market-january-effect-2015-1">The Truth About Those Crazy Calendar Trends Stock Market Gurus Always Talk About</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="02dWN3cjoRo3FOSpTse6EVirah31Vf3u" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

TOM LEE: Here are 5 hated stocks that will pleasantly surprise investors

The entry hole is about 0.25 inches wide, and the exit hole is twice as large.</div></div></div>The more objects there are in orbit - especially large, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/chinese-space-station-crash-date-location-estimate-2018-3">uncontrolled space stations</a>, used rocket parts, and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/nuclear-powered-satellites-space-2016-3">dead satellites</a> - the greater the chances are for a catastrophic chain-reaction of collisions and debris creation, called <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/space-junk-kessler-syndrome-chain-reaction-prevention-2018-3">a Kessler syndrome event</a>. Such a disaster could shut off large swaths of space to astronauts and new satellites for generations."This debris can stay up there for hundreds of years," Bill Ailor, an aerospace engineer and atmospheric reentry specialist who works for the nonprofit Aerospace Corporation, previously told Business Insider, adding that objects in higher orbits (e.g. geostationary satellites) can circle Earth for thousands of years.Luckily, the Space Surveillance Network (SSN) keeps an eye out for satellites and space debris using ground-based radar stations and optical telescopes, plus some observatories in space.Right now, it's tracking about 23,000 objects larger than a softball above Earth, and roughly 14,000 of these are uncontrolled - and at risk of creating more debris.<h2>Which countries launch the most stuff into space</h2>Most objects are in low-Earth orbit, roughly 25o miles above the planet. Fewer satellites are launched to geostationary orbits, or about 22,300 miles high.But what goes up usually comes down in space. Earth's outermost atmosphere drags and slows down objects over time, causing them to fall, burn up, and, in some cases, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/spacecraft-cemetery-point-nemo-google-maps-2017-10">crash into the ocean</a> or land.Publicly available orbital-tracking data from SSN is fed into the website <a href="https://www.space-track.org/#/boxscore" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Space-Track.org</a> (registration required), which is contracted by the US Strategic Command.Here are the top 10 countries and organizations with the most objects in space and what they are, based on data downloaded on March 28, 2018:<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Samantha Lee/Business Insider</div></div></div>Russia has the most stuff in space, with 6,512 objects in orbit. The US is second with 6,262 objects.Considering that rocket bodies are a type of large space debris, Russia is arguably the messiest in space, with 4,994 uncontrolled objects. The US is a close second with 4,684 uncontrolled objects.China has only recently <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/chinas-space-program-cnsa-photos-2015-11">ramped up its space program</a>, yet it's in a close third with 3,601 hunks of space junk; this is because the nation destroyed one of its own satellites in a 2007 <a href="http://www.centerforspace.com/asat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anti-satellite weapons test</a>.Satellite consortiums like Intelsat, SES, and Globalstar make the top 10, though they are relatively small space-junk contributors, since most of their objects are active satellites.Space-Track.org also shows which countries have had the most stuff fall from space:<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">Samantha Lee/Business Insider</div></div></div>Russia is a clear historical winner, with 21,661 objects that have crashed to Earth. The US has deorbited about 12,453 about half as much deorbited stuff.China, which is a relative newcomer to space that launched its first satellite in 1970, has lost about 5,213 objects to a fiery doom.Everything Space-Track.org lists is just a small fraction of the total number of objects.According to the European Space Agency, there may be 670,000 bits of debris larger than a fingernail up there and perhaps <a href="http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Engineering_Technology/Clean_Space/How_many_space_debris_objects_are_currently_in_orbit" target="_blank" rel="noopener">170 million pieces of debris</a> larger than 1 millimeter - objects like flecks of paint and fragments of explosive bolts used on rockets.<h2>How to clean up outer space</h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0GBlCJCkr0">Aerospace Corporation/YouTube</a>An illustration of China's large modular space station, Tiangong-1, burning up in Earth's atmosphere.</div></div></div>Getting old spacecraft out of orbit is key to preventing the formation of space junk, and many space agencies and corporations now build spacecraft <a href="http://www.esa.int/spaceinvideos/Videos/2017/04/Space_debris_2017_-_a_journey_to_Earth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with systems to de-orbit them</a>.But Ailor and others are eager to push the development of new technologies and methods that can lasso, bag, tug, and otherwise remove the old, uncontrolled stuff that's already up there and continues to pose a threat."I've proposed something like a XPRIZE or a Grand Challenge, where would you identify three spacecraft and give a prize to an entity to remove those things," he said.The biggest hurdle in defeating space debris, however, is likely human."It's not just a technical issue. This idea of ownership gets to be a real player here," Ailor said. "No other nation has permission to touch a US satellite, for instance. And if we went after a satellite ... it could even be deemed an act of war."Ailor said someone needs to get nations together to agree on a treaty that spells out laws-of-the-sea-like salvage rights to dead or uncontrollable objects in space."There needs to be something where nations and commercial authorities have some authority to go after something," he said.<figure id="img-540538" contenteditable="false" data-type="img" data-e2e-name="image-figure-image" data-media-container="image"></figure> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/spacecraft-cemetery-pacific-ocean-dead-satellites-2017-10">There's a place at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean where hundreds of giant spacecraft go to die</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>

More than 14,000 hunks of dangerous space junk are hurtling around Earth - here's who put it all up there

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Goldman Sachs tech bankers are having a record year for dealmaking - and they don't expect it to stop anytime soon."When we look ahead, it feels like, barring some piece of macro volatility, it's going to continue to be a constructive environment for tech M&amp;A," Sam Britton, head of technology, media, and telecom mergers and acquisitions, recently told Business Insider."It really feels like to me it's an extension of what we were seeing last year, just busier and more pronounced."From Intelsat's $13 billion deal for OneWeb to Cisco's $3.7 billion deal for AppDynamics, the firm's tech, media, and telecom mergers and acquisitions team had its busiest start to the year in terms of number of deals since 2000, announcing 18 deals in the first two months of the year valued at nearly $30 billion.Behind it all is an <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/these-companies-cant-stop-talking-about-going-digital-2017-3">ongoing drive for technology among industrial companies and other non-tech companies wanting to get exposure, especially to software</a>. This started 18 months to two years ago, but has grown at an exponential rate for the last several quarters, Ryan Limaye, cohead of global technology banking, told Business Insider.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_left"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>"While the broader economy is growing, tech has been the greatest growth area in the economy for a long period of time," he said. "As a result, many companies that are not labeled as tech companies want more tech in their portfolio." Dialogue with non-tech companies, he said, has gone "through the roof."In fact, Limaye said the the number of non-tech companies looking for tech assets reminds him of 1998, 1999, and 2000 - that is, the hyper-active years leading up to the 2001 bursting of the dot-com bubble.He said one important gauge of the market is the number of industrial or non-tech companies making venture investments. General Electric, IBM, and <a href="http://fortune.com/2016/02/17/campbell-soup-vc-fund/">even Campbell Soup</a> have their own venture capital funds. <h2>Eye on enterprise</h2>Much of the activity so far this year has been in the enterprise (or business-focused technology) and software sectors, a theme that started last year and has continued to pick up."Clients are thinking very big, very bold, very aggressively," this year, Limaye said. "They are very interested in doing things - that generally means M&amp;A and, to a lesser degree, financing," he said.One major area of interest within enterprise, which Limaye defines loosely as "not consumer" technology, is software-as-a-service, or SaaS. Last year saw an uptick in SaaS deals, including Oracle's $9.3 billion deal for NetSuite, Samsung's $8 billion deal for Harman, and Symantec's $4.7 billion deal for Blue Coat. Limaye expects that trend to continue.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table click-to-enlarge"><div><div class="image on-image"><a title_source="Acre Venture Partners" title_caption="Campbell Soup Company's venture capital arm is called Acre Venture Partners." class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/58c02d6d6e200469108b488f-960/screen shot 2017-03-08 at 111102 am.png"></div></div></div>One caution, however: With talk of tax reform and cash repatriation on the horizon under President Trump's administration, some buyers could wait before deciding to spend money on deals.Cash repatriation would still be a net positive for the tech M&amp;A market, Britton said, but it could mean that things get put on hold until there is more clarity. So far, that hasn't been the case, but it's something worth looking out for.Still, many historically acquisitive tech companies have not made any big deals recently and could therefore have plans in the works now. Of the big five tech companies - Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft - <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-buys-linkedin-2016-6">only Microsoft</a> did a large deal last year.Limaye said that Goldman's annual technology conference, which took place in February, hosted more than 1,000 people this year, including some 800 investors and several hundred companies. At one point during the conference he showed up for a lunch only to find out it had run out of food."The contrast from this time last year is like night and day," Limaye said.Get the latest Goldman Sachs stock price<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/GS-Quote"> here.</a> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/how-payday-loans-compare-to-credit-cards-2017-2">Despite the negative stigma, payday loans are not much different from credit cards</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="5lYXM0YTE69y-7HNIZrlvfs12bs4bfTj" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) this morning <a href="http://uk.businessinsider.com/300-companies-including-pepsi-and-aig-are-securing-secret-deals-to-slash-taxes-2014-11">revealed the details of hundreds of secret tax deals</a> hundreds of world companies and the government of Luxembourg. 
The private deals, which appear to have saved more than 300 companies millions of dollars in tax, are completely legal in Luxembourg.
