🌐 MORNING WATCH | NOV. 6 🇷🇺 A Russian military satellite came dangerously close to a Western commercial spacecraft used to support Ukraine, according to a Reuters investigation published Thursday. Cosmos 2612 maneuvered to within roughly a kilometer of Finnish company ICEYE's X36 radar satellite in mid-October. Some tracking estimates put the separation at just a few hundred meters. Space analyst Greg Gillinger described the encounter as a possible rehearsal for an attack. Germany's military space commander, Michael Traut, cautions that such maneuvers can also serve inspection, surveillance or interference. ICEYE says X36 remains operational. Two other Russian satellites, Cosmos 2611 and 2613, are now moving into orbital configurations that could allow similar approaches to another ICEYE satellite, X37. Neither has completed a comparable close encounter. Russia has demonstrated precise maneuvering around a commercial satellite. 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Meanwhile, in Ukraine, the reported death toll from Russia's November 2 bombing of a humanitarian aid distribution site in Komyshuvakha has risen to 53, according to regional authorities. Rescue teams are still searching the wreckage for a fifth consecutive day. The final toll remains uncertain.
