SpaceX’s Satellites Are Falling From the Sky Every Single Day
If Starlink continues scaling up operations, there could be as many as five of these satellites raining down on us daily.
Here’s what you need to know: Starlink constellations are adding to the swarm of space junk in low-Earth orbit.
- One to two of their 8,000 satellites are already falling back to Earth every single day.
- There could soon be as many as five daily de-orbits, once Starlink and other companies get 30,000 satellites hovering above us.
- 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.
