NASA warned that its TIMED spacecraft and Russia's Cosmos 2221 satellite passed dangerously close to one another in Earth's low orbit on Wednesday.
Both orbiting spacecraft are non-maneuverable and were expected to make their closest pass at about 1:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday at an altitude of about 373 miles (600 km), NASA said in a news release.
Later Tuesday morning, NASA updated that the spacecraft and Russian satellite passed each other safely in orbit at about 1:34 a.m. EST. The agency said that the TIMED spacecraft continued to function normally.
