Russian satellites "Kosmos 2581" and "Kosmos 2583" performed a high-precision proximity maneuver in orbit. According to COMSPOC, a space object tracking company, the devices approached within just 3 meters of each other on April 28. Experts note that this movement was not accidental and that the satellites made several adjustments to maintain a stable configuration. This is reported by news from.
Analysis showed that not only this pair participated in the operation, but also the "Kosmos 2582" satellite and a cubesat named Object F, which separated from "Kosmos 2583". All objects were launched into space in February 2025 using a Soyuz rocket. According to COMSPOC observations, this is not the first time these devices have performed coordinated maneuvers in low Earth orbit.
During the approach, "Kosmos 2582" trailed the group by less than 100 kilometers, while the Object F device moved at a distance of 15 km from "Kosmos 2582" and 10 km from "Kosmos 2581". Experts believe that through these operations, Russia is testing advanced orbital technologies for controlling multiple objects simultaneously and ensuring their interaction.
