➀ The UK's oldest satellite, Skynet-1A, has mysteriously moved and is now considered a 'ticking time bomb' due to its condition and potential to create space debris. ➁ The satellite was launched in 1969 and was supposed to be directed to the Indian Ocean region, but it ended up in a 'gravity well' near other satellite traffic. ➂ There is uncertainty about who currently controls the satellite, with some suggesting it was abandoned by both the US Air Force and the Royal Air Force.
