OUR SpaceX showed he had to maneuver his internet constellation Starlink over 1700 times thanks to the Russian Federation. After an anti-satellite missile was launched late last year, the company struggled to bear its “stars”.

This information came from a document delivered to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission or, loosely translated, the US Federal Communications Commission). After the launch of an anti-satellite ballistic missile A-235 Nudolconducted in November 2021, the satellites had to be relocated to avoid a cloud of debris. According to the US State Department, as a result of tests at least 1500 pieces in spacesatellite impact space 1408 in low Earth orbit and “dangerously close” close encounter with another Chinese science satellite in January 2022.

The SpaceX devices are located just above the site of the Cosmos 1408 impact. But the aerospace systems maker said the A-235 rocket event got it fiddling with its satellites more than any other event in history.

SpaceX also emphasized that from the beginning of December 2021 to the end of May 2022, the company held 6873 maneuvers so that none of its satellites collide with each other or with ships belonging to other operators.

It is interesting to note that the company Elon Musk a bit stricter than the industry as a whole when it comes to collision probability. In exact numbers, SpaceX is operating with a 0.00001 chance limit to move its satellites, while “normal” would be 0.0001.

The document, delivered to the FCC, also details the current status of the Starlink constellation, as well as the number of satellites that have been deorbited this year and other failures.
