Advanced Tracking Systems Protect Against Collisions In Low Earth Orbit
With the rising number of satellites in low Earth orbit, spaceflight entities are working to avoid collisions with active satellites and space debris. Launch times and rocket trajectories are carefully calculated to prevent accidents, and the U.S. Space Force’s 18th Space Defense Squadron provides critical data to support these efforts. The risks of debris strikes are significant, with potential consequences including the loss of payloads, damage to the International Space Station, and even the creation of widespread orbital debris.
