Kessler syndrome is an issue, but not for this particular object. It will stay in orbit for about 9 months before decaying. Residual objects from a collision would decay even faster. > The most commonly used orbits for both manned and unmanned space vehicles are low earth orbits, which cover an altitude range low enough for residual air drag to be sufficient to help keep the zone clear.
