In 2000, NASA launched the Magnetic-to-Aurora Exploration Photography (IMAGE) satellite to study the Earth's magnetosphere and its interaction with the Sun.
Every satellite or probe launched into space consumes NASA to millions of dollars. But what if they lose contact?
A few years ago, Russia launched into Earth's orbit of mysterious satellites that, according to many military experts, could be the country's new generation of space weapons.
One of the two Russian defense satellites launched on December 5 is not separate from the rocket and is considered missing.
