SPACEX has said it is coordinating with NASA and the US Space Force after one of its Starlink broadband internet satellites suffered an 'anomaly' and began 'tumbling' to Earth.

The aerospace company said the mishap led to a 'loss of communication' with the satellite while it was in low-Earth orbit at an altitude of 260 miles (418 kilometers).
