The #KesslerSyndrome: Crisis in Space Intensifies as Thousands of Satellites Crowd Earth Orbit

by Micah Hanks, May 8, 2025

Excerpt: "Welcome to this week’s installment of The Intelligence Brief… as #SpaceX’s Starlink constellation continues to raise the number of operational satellites in orbit, scientists are raising alarms about the growing threat of #SpaceDebris. In our analysis this week, we’ll be looking at 1) the potential onset of the Kessler Syndrome, 2) how a cascading chain reaction of orbital collisions could jeopardize #satellites, #SpaceStations, and critical infrastructure in space, and 3) what space agencies like NASA and the ESA are doing to mitigate risks through debris removal missions and stricter deorbiting guidelines, amid concerns over whether current efforts will be enough to prevent orbital chaos."

#SpaceStation

#CNN 📆 May 2022 #OrbitalAssembly is aiming to launch two #SpaceStations with #tourist accommodation: #VoyagerStation is now scheduled to accommodate 400 people and to open in 📆 2027, while new concept Pioneer Station, housing 28 people, could be operational in 📆 2025. There will be "comforts" of artificial #gravity, like showers 🚿, the ability to eat and drink sitting 🪑 down https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/space-hotel-orbital-assembly-scn/index.html
