December 26, 2025, 11:08 PM EST. Starlink satellite 35956 suffered a serious anomaly on December 17, leaving it largely intact but tumbling in orbit. SpaceX says it will reenter the Earth's atmosphere and fully demise within weeks. Vantor's WorldView-3 image provided visual intelligence as SpaceX works to root out the cause. The event caused venting of the propulsion tank and a rapid decay of the semi-major axis by about 4 km, with a small number of trackable objects released. Engineers are deploying software updates to bolster protections against similar events. The satellite's trajectory does not threaten humans or the ISS, and SpaceX remains the largest operator in LEO with thousands more planned.
