Sat collision

Nasa has confirmed that a Russian and US satellite have collided in space.

The US satellite was part of the Iridium network, a global telephony service set up by Motorola in the late 90s that went bankrupt and is now owned by private investors, with the US military as one of the chief clients.

Two communication satellites - one Russian, one American - have collided in space some 800 kilometres above Siberia. It's the first crash of its kind, but NASA says it doesn't pose a threat to the International Space Station.
