An experimental spy satellite that was deemed "lost" after eluding detection for decades has finally been found. "The S73-7 satellite has been rediscovered after being untracked for 25 years," astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell said in an April 29 post on X, formerly Twitter. He says it reappeared on April 25, citing Space Force data.

    Interesting, according to Wikipedia it’s only in an 800km orbit. I’m surprised it wasn’t detected sooner as it’s pretty big (66cm diameter).
