SpaceX Satellites Falling From the Sky
Starlink satellites are falling back to Earth every day, with 1-2 out of 8,000 de-orbiting daily.
If Starlink continues to scale up, there could be as many as 5 satellites falling daily.
- Starlink constellations contribute to space junk in low-Earth orbit.
- Other companies like Amazon and Kuiper will add to the satellite swarm.
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.
With 30,000 satellites from Starlink and other companies, and an additional 20,000 from Chinese systems, the number of falling satellites is expected to increase.
