As Satellite Collision Risks Increase, Ephemeris Sharing is Vital

As the number of satellites in LEO continues to grow exponentially, when it comes to a satellite’s location, sharing is caring. Varying predictions have the satellite population in LEO increasing by two- to six-fold by the end of this decade. That is a phenomenal growth rate that will provide an abundance of new services and capabilities here on Earth, but it is not without consequences. More sats zooming around means more collision warnings and more maneuvering in orbit—something companies could help avoid by sharing precise location data with other operators. More
