Although there have been no confirmed collisions with commercial planes, the probability of rocket reentries affecting busy airspace is significant. EUROCONTROL is monitoring these events and working on crisis management protocols. The European Space Agency is developing the DRACO mission to gather data on reentry processes to design safer satellites. As air traffic grows, better coordination between air traffic controllers and the space community is essential to manage risks effectively. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
