Satellite overload: how the UN could save the night sky
Introduction: a crowd of satellites in the sky As mega-constellations expand and satellite launches accelerate toward an estimated 1.7 million by 2030, astronomers warn that the night sky could become a crowded digital highway. The problem isn’t only about stargazing; it intersects with science, technology, and policy. Bright satellite trails threaten long-exposure astronomical observations, while…

Satellite Operators Urge ITU to Improve Space Safety
Global Call for Better Coordination At the International Astronautical Congress in Sydney on Sept. 30, satellite operators pressed the International Telecommunication Union to help keep lines of communication open as close approaches between satellites raise space safety concerns. The core issue is not conflicts with rival constellations, but the lack of routine data sharing among…

Satellite Operators Seek ITU Help to Strengthen Space Safety Coordination
Why coordination matters in a crowded orbital neighborhood As satellite constellations expand across low Earth orbit, operators say the risk of close approaches—and the potential for interference—must be managed with better cross-operator communication. At a panel during the International Astronautical Congress in Sydney, representatives from leading U.S. and Chinese operators stressed that uncontrolled conjunctions are…
