A communications satellite took serious damage from a powerful solar storm, turning it into a Gothic space platform, a zombiesat.
Yes, that's what the engineers call it. Galaxy 15 has gone "renegade":
Galaxy 15 is ignoring all commands from handlers on Earth, leading engineers to dub the renegade satellite a "zombiesat."
Ground control failed to regain control, and now the zombiesat is threatening to impinge on other, non-renegade communication satellites.

Another space junk to join the ever-increasing cloud of dangerous pieces orbiting above 500 mile or so. It's going to take a massive economic loss(like few satellites for a cool billion total) till solution is found. I'm thinking of a space program specifically intended to push junk into the atmosphere so it would burn upon reentry. http://www.dish-network-vs-direct-tv.com/>for info on satellite tv comparison click here
