Satellite Congestion Threatens Space Safety and Astronomy

Originally Published 4 days ago — by Live Science

A new 'CRASH Clock' study warns that in a worst-case scenario, Earth-orbiting satellites could start colliding within less than three days, a significant decrease from previous estimates, driven by the rapid increase in satellite numbers and potential space weather events, raising concerns about space debris and the Kessler Syndrome.

New 'CRASH Clock' Warns of 2.8-Day Window Before Satellite Collision

Originally Published 27 days ago — by Gizmodo

A new study introduces the CRASH clock, indicating a 2.8-day window before a likely catastrophic collision in low-Earth orbit due to increasing satellite congestion, especially from Starlink, raising concerns about potential Kessler syndrome and the need for immediate action to prevent space debris chaos.
