Chinese payload nears Starlink satellite, says SpaceX report.
Potential Satellite Collision Highlights Challenges in Space Traffic Coordination In the ever-expanding frontier of space, a recent incident involving a Starlink satellite and a newly launched Chinese spacecraft has brought to light the increasing complexities of managing satellite operations and verifying potential near-misses in orbit. This event underscores the necessity for enhanced coordination among global […]
Michael Nichols, SpaceX's vice president of Starlink engineering, reported that a Chinese satellite came within 200 meters of a Starlink satellite. Nichols called for risk mitigation measures.
A near collision in near-earth orbit shows how tense the situation in space is in the meantime: A newly launched Chinese satellite approached a Starlink satellite up to about 200 meters. The incident reveals a central problem: the lack of coordination between satellite operators in increasingly fuller orbits. read more on t3n.de
A few days ago, a Chinese satellite approached an aircraft from the Starlink constellation 590 kilometres above Earth, and unfortunately, this type of event is likely to multiply dramatically.
