Half of all sats, not objects. These close encounters are not just with other satellites but any other tracked objects in the database, of which there are many more.
- luckylion 5y agoWouldn't that still be expected if they make up half the satellites? Or do these numbers also include near-misses of two non-satellite objects, in which case Starlink would do worse than non-steered space junk?
