Hi, Pete, An "explosion" is the expansion of hot matter (gaseous vapor, chemical, or plasma, nuclear). That solves the "empty" space part. It's not empty any more. But the SM-3 that's going after the defective satellite does not carry explosives. The SM-3 has a Kinetic Warhead, meanin

I don't think we have any technology capable of "shooting down" a satellite. What I guess they'll do is turn it into a debris cloud, and the individual components will separately decay and burn up over the next few months (or years). More junk to dodge. Chris
