NRO-L21,the satellite that will be shot down
A US spy satellite went out of order after its launch in 2006, and it is uncontrolled since that. The upper atmosphere makes drag effect, too, the satellite slowes down, and it can't stay on its track anymore. In this case they ignite the engine, boost it until it continues its way.
Now all of these are impossible, the L21 began unavoidable falling. When a minibus sized thing fall onto your head then it really ruins your day, and because of this the smarts decided to shoot it down. Maybe the smaller pieces will burn in the atmosphere, and won't fall on us in 100 pieces.
The russians see again that it is a final test of a newly developed rocket that is able to shoot down satellites.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Anyway, we went down to the back of our house to see the machine until we can see it. The result is up there as a 8 second picture.
