@orbitalradar.bsky.socialIn orbit, ESSA 7 (TOS-E) and THORAD DELTA 1 DEB will pass just 2.87 km apart. With closing speeds of several km/s, most debris can't maneuver.
We screen these conjunctions non-stop, vital for safety in a crowded space.

@orbitalradar.bsky.social14 tracked objects are predicted to reenter our atmosphere within 7 days, most burning up safely. But the largest ones? Worth watching.
Reentry timing’s uncertain, and surprises happen. Track them live: orbitalradar.com/satellite-…
@orbitalradar.bsky.social2 tracked objects—FLOCK 4Q 27 and STARLINK-11667 [DTC]—are predicted to pass just 3.33 km apart.
With closing speeds of several km/s, even small misses matter. Many objects are uncontrolled debris.

@orbitalradar.bsky.social31,357 objects orbit above us right now, growing fast. Since 2019, SpaceX's Starlink alone added thousands.
The pace of launches is accelerating, changing our sky.

@orbitalradar.bsky.social31,451 objects in orbit right now—an ever-growing sky population.
Surprisingly, one operator dominates the active satellites: think mega-constellations.

@chikyufoundation.comAt the Chikyū Earth Orbital Foundation, we view low Earth orbit as a finite, shared resource. With over 29,400 tracked debris objects currently circling our planet (image courtesy of ESA), humanity cannot afford to treat space as a landfill. 🌍🛰️ #OrbitalDebris #LEO
@orbitalradar.bsky.socialEver wondered why a 2.39 km miss in space matters?
ICEYE-X54 and OBJECT BQ will whiz past at speeds that make dodging impossible. Orbital debris can't steer away.

@spacewatch.bsky.social1.2 million hard-to-track debris objects in orbit. Munich-based Project-S just came out of stealth to tackle exactly that problem.
