Could this have something to do with Russia backing away from Iran?


I wonder what China's take on it would be???

More likely than not the satellite stopped functioning due to mundane reasons such as a faulty internal design or component. Given this was a satellite built by a University I'm inclined to believe that's probably the cause of the failure. While the US probably has some means of disrupting or destroying satellites it would not test such a capability on a foreign satellite, much less a limited civilian built one. Besides the obvious reason you could also control the conditions and get better data with your own target satellite.
