A satellite collision occurs when two satellites or space debris collide in orbit around the Earth. This can happen due to various reasons, such as miscalculations in their trajectories or the presence of defunct satellites. The impact can create thousands of smaller debris pieces, which can pose risks to other operational satellites and spacecraft. The increasing number of satellites, including those from companies like SpaceX and OneWeb, raises concerns about the likelihood of collisions. To mitigate these risks, space agencies and organizations track objects in orbit and develop strategies to avoid potential collisions, ensuring the safety of space operations.
