    Officials from the US and the UK have accused Russia of firing an anti—satellite weapon on July 15th. According to US Space Command, the Defense Department arm that’s responsible for military operations in outer space, it found evidence that Russia conducted a non-destructive test of the new technology. The projectile was inserted into orbit by Cosmos 2543, one of the two Russian satellites that launched in November 2019.
