Concerns are growing over the long-term sustainability of satellite operations as the number of satellites in orbit continues to increase. Experts warn that the exponential growth in maneuvers could lead to a significant risk of collisions and the accumulation of space debris, potentially rendering parts of the orbital environment unusable.
