Through which we have to send all our launches. The debris field is growing and this and other tests are contributing to it. The debris isn’t likely to be homogeneous over this volume either.
Our launch sites are tiny spaces designed to reduce launch cost by getting a boost from the earths rotation or to select particular orbits. That these narrow corridors may be polluted with debris from satellites launched into very similar orbits is frightening in the extreme.
