Described as an inspection satellite.

Then another Russian satellite reported to have broken up the other day.

Interesting.

I somehow ended up reading up on the USA's Orion satellites the other day so it's nice to see the Russians do the same kind of stuff.

Makes Donald's bleating about Huawei kind of moot.

What I find interesting is the Joe Bloggs also track these, they were tracking the US secret mini shuttle. Once you get your eye in, you can often see something moving these days. What is is is another matter, caught one doing North-South, but could not find it on the usual suspects but more likely the catalogues were out of date.
