Collisions are a growing concern as junk builds up in space. SpaceX satellites had to perform 50,000 collision avoidance maneuvers in just the first half of 2024 to avoid other spacecraft and ...
Nine in 10 useful satellites are located in an area called low Earth orbit — as is most of the junk. Objects in this zone move at about 17,000 miles per hour, making it hard to avoid collision.
Space technologies are playing an increasingly critical role in communications, defence and research. As more satellites are launched, there is a growing risk of collision, and of satellites becoming ...
