Major Tom.
This is an empty space suit released into orbit.
On February 3, 2006, astronauts from Expedition 12 pushed an old Russian space suit away from the International Space Station. The suit was fitted with radio equipment and turned into a tiny satellite called SuitSat.
As it drifted through space, it broadcast signals for a short time before the equipment failed.
From Earth, it looked eerily like a floating human figure, silently moving through the darkness of orbit.
For months, this lifeless suit circled our planet no astronaut inside, no control, just a hollow reminder of human presence in space until atmospheric drag finally pulled it back down.
