SpainSat NG II sustained orbit-raising damage from suspected debris, but remains operational with backup systems.
The SpainSat NG II satellite, launched October 23, 2025, sustained damage from a suspected space debris or micrometeoroid impact during orbit-raising at 50,000 km altitude, according to Indra Group’s January 3, 2026, disclosure.
The satellite remains operational, with secure military and NATO communications unaffected due to redundancy from SpainSat NG I and legacy systems.
Technical teams are assessing potential propulsion or control system damage.
A replacement, SpainSat NG III, is planned if needed, ensuring mission continuity through 2040.
