@worldofastronomers: In 2006, NASA released an empty spacesuit named SuitSat-1 into orbit after it had served its purpose aboard the International Space Station. Instead of becoming space junk immediately, it was turned into a small satellite that transmitted recorded messages and telemetry to amateur radio operators around the world. 🛰️ The suit circled Earth for several months before gradually losing altitude and burning up in Earth's atmosphere. It never drifted through deep space forever, but it remains one of NASA's most creative and unusual space experiments. Space is full of incredible stories that sound like science fiction—but they're real. Follow us for more mind-blowing facts and discoveries that reveal just how fascinating our universe truly is. 🌌🚀 #NASA #SuitSat #SuitSat1 #ISS #InternationalSpaceStation
If everything is in orbit traveling in the same direction why is the suit just floating away

Okay but where are all the stars and galaxies!? We can see billions from the ground but yet anytime anything happens in space, no stars or any kind of light sources even exist..?🤔 proof space doesn’t exist and everything is an illusion

That spacesuit was tossed into space on February 3, 2006, as part of a unique, low-cost science and education project called SuitSat-1 (also known as RadioSkaf).
Instead of just throwing away a retired Russian Orlan spacesuit that the International Space Station crew no longer needed, engineers and ham radio enthusiasts decided to turn it into a makeshift satellite.
Here is what they did with it:
* The Setup: They stuffed the empty suit with old, unwashed clothes to give it a human shape, and mounted a battery pack and a radio transmitter inside the helmet.
* The Mission: The suit was configured to continuously broadcast pre-recorded voice messages from students and scientists from around the world in multiple languages, alongside telemetry data and a special signal.
* The Goal: Amateur radio operators and students on Earth using simple police scanners or ham radio gear could tune in to the frequency (145.990 MHz) and track the "ghostly" floating spacesuit as it passed overhead.
Affectionately nicknamed "Ivan Ivanovich" or "Mr. Smith" by the crew, the suit transmitted thousands of messages over a couple of weeks before its batteries finally gave out. It remained in orbit as space debris until September 7, 2006, when it safely burned up upon re-entering Earth's atmosphere.
