Smaller?

Two of the previous collisions involved the Mir space station, so the claim that all previous collisions have been between smaller satellites is not accurate. -- G W 07:43, 12 February 2009 (UTC) reply

Apparently it was launched into LEO (according to the main article), but the summary on the side claims it was a Medium Earth Orbit. This is clearly inconsistent. The 2009 collision article claims both satellites were in LEO. However, it is possible the satellite was launched into a MEO, before decaying to an LEO. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.174.122.122 ( talk) 18:51, 14 February 2009 (UTC) reply
