This composite image, from Slingshot Aerospace’s low Earth orbit-focused Horus optical fences, shows a series of bright, unexpected objects moving along the same orbital path as a Long March 6A rocket body and the 18 Qianfan satellites it deployed on Aug. 6, 2024. These objects are part of the debris cloud spawned by the breakup of the rocket body. (Image credit: Slingshot Aerospace)
