"Debris" doesn't mean Hitomi's in little pieces. It means little pieces
have come off it. Satellite might be basically intact,we don't know
JAXA also reported that they have brief contacts with it after the original "breakup" time, and certain did have contact after the revised "breakup" time since they lost contact at 07:45 UTC.

PSA: When @JointSpaceOps says "breakup", don't mean what you or I would. If saw dandruff falling from your head they'd say you'd broken up.

v skratke:
časti hitomi odleteli 26.3. 0142 utc... pravdepodobne nedošlo ku kompletnému zničeniu hitomi, len z neho odleteli nejaké časti... jaxa oznámila, že mala krátky kontakt s hitomi po tomto čase nehody
