Musk Is Beating China's 203,000 Paper Satellites
If orbital space is the 21st century's high seas, China looks to be preparing an armada.
Government plans submitted late last year to the United Nations' International Telecommunications Union, or ITU, promise a fleet of 203,000 satellites to be deployed by the mid-2030s.

Satellite megaconstellations continue to grow. Could their debris fall on us?
The study recommends designing constellations with fewer, higher capacity, higher quality satellites with longer operational lives to reduce the risk to people on the ground and any damage to the atmosphere, and suggests that states and national regulators require independent verification of claims of full 'demisability' and evaluate collective casualty risks from entire constellations.

Like Starlink, Amazon's Leo Satellites Face Brightness Concerns
Amazon Leo is following in Starlink's footsteps, but in a way astronomers hoped it would avoid. Many of the Leo satellites appear to be bright enough in the night sky to interfere with astronomical observations, according to new research.

The next frontier in space is closer than you think - welcome to the world of very low Earth orbit satellites
But as more and more satellites are launched into LEO - SpaceX's Starlink internet constellation alone will eventually send many thousands more there - the region's getting a bit crowded.
