Simulation of an explosion in geostationary orbit - Simulation of an explosion in geostationary orbit - A satellite in geostationary orbit moves about 3 km per second. During an explosion, debris will move more slowly and remain in the initial orbit. Some fragments will move faster than others, forming a diffuse ring around the Earth. Downstairs, the debris seen two days after the explosion. What happens after an explosion in space? A geostationary satellite has a velocity of about 3 kms/second (10,000 kms/hour). The fragments are ejected with a much lower velocity and thus stay close to the initial orbit. However, some will travel a bit faster and others a bit slower. Within a few days the debris cloud will form a diffuse ring at 36,000 km altitude around the Earth. Bottom, seen two days after the explosion

EDRS-C relay satellite - Artist view - The European Data Relay Satellite System - EDRS: The European Data Relay Satellite (EDRS) programme is a network of space satellites in geostationary orbit enabling faster and better data transmission between satellites and ground stations using new communication technologies - EDRS-C is the second node of the European Data Relay System (EDRS). It is the first dedicated EDRS satellite as well as the first flight for ESA's SmallGeo platform. EDRS is designed to transmit data between low Earth orbiting satellites and the EDRS payloads in geostationary orbit using innovative laser communication technology. Composed of a hosted payload (EDRS-A) on a commercial telecom satellite and a dedicated satellite (EDRS-C) in geostationary orbit, the system will dramatically increase the speed of data transmission for satellites in lower orbits and airborne platforms to relay their information to users on the ground. Nicknamed the 'SpaceDataHighway' by industry, EDRS complements current downlink infrastructures and allows for near-realtime services on a global scale
