Komm-1 Hit by micro meteor!

Our radars suddenly detected Komm-1 getting hit by a small object and then shattering into debris. It is believed this is a small meteor of sorts.

The Union of Segerline have concerning reports of an object that was sent up into orbit three days prior to this event. Then under what seems entirely under Kerbal control, changed orbit to your sat, rendevouzed with it and crashed in it.

We had a sat in a similar orbit yes, it went up to the sat and took some close pictures, to see if the comm sat was possible to repair. Then as it started its deorbit the satellite was hit by a meteorite. But i understand your concern

Kahlawian space radar survey indicate the same data. We find your justification completely nonsensical. Why keeping a repair mission secret? And also, how would you have repaired the sat? It's clear that this was an anti-satellite weapon test.

We find extremely worrisome your space militarization efforts, and just another confirmation of your toughts about your nation.

What we also find concerning is how you wrecklessly contaminate space with space debris. Let us pray that this debris doesn't hit any other satellite in the region in the future, or worse a manned space craft.

We were looking at possibilities of repairing the sat, not doing it on the spot. As well as testing out methods of getting close to other objects in orbit. May i ask you what a "ASAT" is? The reason it was kept secret is because of the failure, so we did not want to take a hit to our reputation of almost no failures yet

We remind you that you announced the failure of the Komm-1 well before these events. You are only confirming our suspects.

Anyway, we inform you that this "meteorite" appeared out of nowhere in a stable orbit around Kerbin, manouvered to approach your satellite, and then impacted it. This is not the usual behaviour of a piece of space rock. If you haven't nothing to do with this event, we suggest you to send a parcel to Laythe, since they are likely to be blamed.

So instead of being honest and admitting of the destruction of the satellite, you prefer to let it remain unknown and possibly harmful to others for your frivolous "repuation"?

"I do not understand how getting up to it, looking and then leaving makes it more harmful then it initially was"

You concealed information about it's destruction. The debris could crash into another space craft, kind of like the "micro meteor" you sent at it.

We find the militarization of Kyux very worrying, especially with their imperialist nature. Are you trying to start an arms race in space and destroy the beauty of Kerbal exploration? You do realise that other nations will most likely act to counter balance the control of space now?

Stop acting as we don't know about the second vehicle you secretly launched. That's the one we are referring to.

Don't make a fool of us.

We are sorry, there seems to have been a case of miss communication. Our department of Exploration is now claiming there was a fault in the probe which caused it to go straight into Komm-1. We are very sorry for any inconveniences. We are currently conducting a investigation on who is the guilty one. We assure you no harm was intended

How convenient that it was an accident and miss communication. Tell me, if the only purpose of that probe was to rendevouz with it, then why did you keep it secret unlike the rest of your program?

Not only was this blatantly an anti-satellite weapon test, but a close rendezvous would be a sufficient test for such a system; there was no need to fill this orbit with debris. The communications satellites vital for both the Kabundakan and Kyuxian space programs are now threatened because of this event, and we cannot condemn it strongly enough.

You are abusing our patience. The first object launched, the camera survey probe, deorbited itself days before the event. We detected a second probe, that maneuvered to rendezvous with the Komm-1 and then impacted it.

We second the Kabundakan concerns, and we again condemn your militaristic efforts.

Actually the first one was just a test to see how close we could get, the second one was the camera one.

This is getting ridicolous. Name us a reason to spend a launcher to carry out an useless dress reharsal mission with a dummy camera.

We did not expect the first one to get so close, so it had no camera. It was just testing of a randerveuz theory

Given that you can hardly spell "rendezvous" does follow in line with your ridiculous claims. I presume the camera's photos were then stolen by the Dunians?

We shall agree with Narcona. Your excuses shall not pass by our glorious polygraphs.

If i could only guess one excuse, i'm presuming that the Dunans stole your homework and space program.

The Fisnavavaadian military now sits on standby. Any act that harms any satellite that belongs to the GEF or the ICEXO will be considered an act of war against the Fisnavaadian nation, and will be retaliated against as such.
