SpaceX’s Satellites Are Falling From the Sky Daily
Starlink satellites are re-entering the Earth's atmosphere daily, with 1-2 out of 8,000 satellites falling back to Earth every day.
As Starlink and other companies like Amazon and Kuiper launch more satellites, the number of daily de-orbits could increase to 5.
- Current daily de-orbits: 1-2 satellites
- Predicted daily de-orbits: up to 5 satellites
- Total predicted satellites in low-Earth orbit: 30,000 (Starlink and other companies) + 20,000 (Chinese systems)
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s... probably a hunk of trash metal from yet another de-orbited Starlink satellite burning up in the atmosphere.
Author's summary: SpaceX's satellites are falling daily, contributing to space junk.
