A satellite may be falling apart in geostationary orbit. On the morning of June 17, the Luxembourg-based satellite operator SES lost control
of a large satellite in geostationary space, nearly 36,000km above the
Earth's surface. Shortly after, the satellite operator began working
with another company that specializes in space situational awareness to
track the drifting machine, AMC-9. A few days ago that company,
ExoAnalytic Solutions, saw the AMC-9 satellite begin to fragment.
There is a video showing the breakup and more details at: ARS Technica
