SpaceX Satellites Falling from the Sky
Starlink satellites are falling back to Earth every day, with 1-2 out of 8,000 satellites de-orbiting daily.
If Starlink continues to scale! up operations, there could be as many as five satellites falling daily.
- Starlink constellations contribute to space junk in low-Earth orbit.
- Other companies, such as Amazon and Kuiper, will add to the total number of satellites.
- Chinese systems are predicted to add another 20,000 satellites.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s... probably a hunk of trash metal from yet another de-orbited Starlink satellite burning up in the atmosphere.
Author summary: SpaceX satellites fall daily, increasing space junk.
