Starlink plans to lower thousands of its satellites in 2026 to enhance space safety, reducing collision risks and decay time. Approximately 4,400 satellites will be moved from 550 km to 480 km altitude. This decision follows a recent incident involving debris from a satellite. The European Space Agency estimates 40,000 objects in Low Earth Orbit, with SpaceX owning over 9,300. The increase in satellite collisions is attributed to a larger Starlink fleet and more objects in orbit. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
