Yes. It's a much simpler problem with a lot fewer agents. Furthermore all agents share the same incentives. It is in every satellite operator's best interest to not pulverize their sat by an other one.

I think of that Romanian dictator (Ceaușescu) who let his totally uneducated wife design the subway system in Bucharest. It was completely non-sensical, but the engineers had their hands tied (although they did secretly build stations in anticipation of common sense coming along at some point.)
