Planned satellite megaconstellations could generate runaway space debris
Science says a recent preprint suggests satellite swarms may reach a threshold known as Kessler syndrome.
TLDR
Science reports that planned satellite megaconstellations could generate runaway space debris. Modeling in a recent preprint suggests the swarms may reach a threshold called Kessler syndrome, which would make them unsustainable.
