SpaceX's Starlink network has lost contact with one of its satellites after an on-orbit anomaly, but the company says the incident does not pose any risk to ongoing or upcoming space missions.
The issue was detected on Sunday at an altitude of about 560 km above Earth, prompting monitoring efforts from the company and US space authorities.
In an update shared Monday, Starlink said, "Latest analysis showed that the event poses no new risk to the International Space Station, its crew, or to the launch of NASA's Artemis II mission."
The company also confirmed that the situation does not threaten the International Space Station or its astronauts.
Starlink said it is continuing to track the affected spacecraft, identified as satellite 34343, along with any potential debris.
The company added it will coordinate closely with the US Space Force and NASA as part of ongoing monitoring efforts.
At the same time, Starlink noted it is working with SpaceX to actively "determine root cause and will rapidly implement any necessary corrective actions."
