- criddell 3y agoThere have been near collisions with Starlink satellites and China’s space station: https://www.thespacereview.com/article/4338/1 https://www.thespacereview.com/article/4338/1

But the chances of a collision are really small given how tiny the relative cross sections of satellite and ISS are compared to the total surface area of the shell the ISS orbits in.
