Probably aliens destroyed it so it's advanced sensors wouldn't detect their ships

Probably murca shot it down.

I wouldn't be surprised.

I'm sure some of us considered the possibility.

Probably got crushed by other Hitomi's breasts.

I assume you mean her larger breast did it?

Guys, I don't think that's gonna work.

It might if the satellite is actually Voltron.
[–] grlldcheese 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
It's Japan. Pretty sure everything is Voltron at some point in the design phase.

May have just been hit with space junk.

I'd guess the former; likely a meteoroid.

There is a ton of junk that humans have left orbiting around up there.

Doubtful, the folks over at NORAD say no. This is a group of people who make it their buisness to watcht his sort of thing. Fuckups happen, espeically when admiting mistakes is hard in your society. I suspect design flaw which caused a boom. This isn't the worst altitude band for this to happen in, but not great either. Collisions in the area of 780km are of greatest concern, this bird flew around 575km up.
