What the heck is a "preliminary design review" for a satellite deorbit mission to relocate or dispose of dead or uncooperative satellites .... and you get paid ~ $8M for doing the review. https://www.investing.com/news/company-news/firefly-aerospace-wins-contract-for-satellite-deorbit-design-review-93CH-4859089 #Space #DesignReview #FireflyAerospace #SatelliteDeorbit #Satellite #SpaceDevelopmentAgency #SDA #DefenseInnovationUnit #MissionDesign #OrbitalDebris

"Of the 16 planned constellations, comprising nearly 1.7 million satellites, six passed the threshold into runaway debris, among them China’s Guowang, Cowboy Space Corp.’s Stampede, and Blue Origin’s Project Sunrise. Perhaps the most notable generator of debris would be Starmind, SpaceX’s plan for 1 million satellites to act as orbital data centers. Three more proposals reached an unstable state, where debris would increase but not endlessly."
Note that these outcomes were modeled taking into account only a single constellation at a time, not the whole collection.
The model results are so negative that even turning all the parameter knobs to "Most Optimistic" won't produce reasonable certainty of safety.
If these systems are populated as planned, it's not alarmist to conclude as an inevitability that we'll face decades or longer of radically impaired access to space.

"US officials have said a nuclear detonation would render portions of low-Earth orbit useless for up to a year."
Tragically and comically optimistic. Apparently this prediction only includes ionizing radiation problems, not the spectacular cloud of orbit-denying fragments that inevitably will propagate from thousands of "noncooperative" spacecraft with their trajectories shaped by the vagaries of gravity anomalies etc.

Wooden satellites like LignoSat are designed to burn up into water vapor and a small amount of carbon dioxide instead of long-lived metallic haze.
