Close encounters with their own satellites
“The current 1,600 close passes include those between two Starlink satellites. Excluding these encounters, Starlink satellites approach other operators’ spacecraft 500 times every week.”
Seriously, this article reads like it was written and sponsored by Blue Origin.
- t0mas88 5y agoTwo starlink satellites colliding because of a bit more "move fast and break things" attitude than traditional space companies is still a disaster for everyone. Because you end up with debris that is unpredictable and dangerous to other satellites. I'm sure Starlink tries their best, but I've also seen more than just this one article about how they're not always great at it.
