"A #Starlink #satellite has suffered a malfunction that caused it to eject a small amount of debris into Earth’s orbit, according to #SpaceX. ... The statement raises questions about whether the satellite experienced a minor explosion or was struck by something. It also suggests the satellite can no longer maneuver with its built-in propulsion, even if contact is re-established."
