Since October 25, 2026, 3 new pieces from the launch of BREEZE-M R/B (2006, CIS) have been added to the tracking catalog. Many new pieces from one old object at once usually mean it broke up: an explosion of leftover fuel or batteries, or a collision.

The pieces fly between 595 and 15318 km up.

At this height pieces can stay up for several years.
