Two tracked objects—MICE-1 and FLOCK 4H-4—will pass just 3.38 km apart.

With orbital closing speeds reaching several km/s, this distance leaves minimal room for error. Most of these objects can't maneuver, adding to the risk. We're currently tracking 31,397 objects to prevent collisions.

See how close these passes can get at our live screening: https://orbitalradar.com/conjunctions?ref=mastodon

Is that all? Only ~1 Ton per week?

Last year, the U.S. Space Force issued alerts for nearly 820 objects entering the Earth’s atmosphere.

“Re-entries happen each and every day,” "Huge objects weighing a metric ton or more arrive about once a week" according the space collision experts.

While much of the debris incinerates in the atmosphere or splashes into the Pacific, but when it does not - it can land anywhere and on one can predict where.

SpaceX indicates ~5% of the mass of some of its satellites may not disintegrate when they "de-orbit". https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/world/asia/space-debris-falling-crashing-earth-risk.html?unlocked_article_code=1.11A.WhlN.uAdqod1FWRBC

This is fun*. It's the free TAROT web app from Saber Astronautics, which does real time visualisations of all the known satellites (and larger pieces of space junk) around the Earth.

There's a lot, and most of it is Starlink.
