Explanation:
Who dunnit?
Like a scene from a
space mystery movie, a spacesuit floated away from the
International Space Station earlier this month,
but no investigation was needed.
It was pushed out by the space station crew.
Dubbed
Suitsat-1, the unneeded Russian
Orlan spacesuit filled mostly with
old clothes
was fitted with a faint
radio transmitter
and released to orbit the Earth.
Suitsat-1 will orbit once every 90 minutes
until it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere within a few weeks.
The suit circled the Earth twice before its
radio signal became unexpectedly weak.
Pictured above, the lifeless spacesuit was photographed as it
drifted away from the Earth-orbiting
space station
earlier this month.
