On Friday the two were about 5 km apart, after being more than 300 km apart just a day earlier.
CSIS space fellow Clayton Swope described the distance as essentially "bumper-to-bumper," while Integrity ISR analyst Greg Gillinger called it a purposeful engagement with a Western satellite supporting Ukraine.
A US space law professor noted countries generally keep at least around 10 km apart, since closer than that the risk of collision rises sharply.The Pentagon and ICEYE both declined to comment. A Ukrainian official confirmed Kiev uses ICEYE's capabilities but claimed it's unclear whether X36 specifically serves Ukraine, even though the US Space Force has itself described it as a radar satellite used by Ukraine for imagery intelligence.
