NanoAvionics MP42 Satellite Survives Space Collision, Captures Selfie

NanoAvionics' MP42 satellite, launched in 2022, survived a collision with a small object in orbit, highlighting the growing issue of space debris. A 0.24-inch hole was discovered in its solar panel, though it caused no significant damage. The incident underscores the need for responsible space operations and the resilience of satellites against such impacts. With millions of debris fragments orbiting Earth, space sustainability experts are increasingly concerned about potential collisions that could create more hazardous debris.
