I did read about this yesterday, and as far as I know the name of the sat is intelsat 33e and its for communication purposes. I'm curious to know what really happen, how it broke.

Did musk hit it with something?

Doubtful. Dude ain't got no ups.

Musk probably hit it with his signature offensive odor

It was probably an emergency exit hatch for the magic rocket gas.
