SpaceX’s Starlink said one of its satellites had an anomaly on-orbit on Sunday, leading to a loss of communications with the spacecraft at roughly 560 km (347.97 miles) above Earth, though the event does not pose a risk to key missions. The event comes just ahead of the potential April 1 launch of the Artemis II mission, the first crewed test flight in NASA’s multibillion-dollar flagship effort to put humans back on the moon this decade.The company added it will continue to monitor satellite 34343, along with any trackable debris and will coordinate with the U.S. Space Force and NASA.The anomaly also posed no risk to the Falcon 9 Transporter-16 rideshare mission, which lifted off Monday morning, Starlink said. The mission was designed to deploy payloads above or below the Starlink constellation. Does it pose any risk to the international space station ?
