Two satellites will narrowly avoid colliding at 32,800 MPH on Wednesday
- drallison 7y agoI wish articles like this were more clearly written. What we know is that there are two satellites that will get with a few meters of each other. The 32,800 MPH number is not relevant as both satellites will be traveling at that speed, give or take a little; the relative velocity of one satellite with respect to the other is likely to be fairly small.
