London. Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and owner of SpaceX, always makes headlines. His company is known for launching SpaceX Advanced Rocket and Spacecraft. But now experts have warned that due to more satellite launches, planes may be subject to crashes. Please say that Musk’s company is about to launch 40,000 satellites for internet use. He has an internet company called Starlink.
british newspaper the sun According to Musk’s SpaceX company, so far 3,000 satellites have been launched for internet service. While in 2019 he submitted documents to send 30,000 more satellites. All of these satellites are sent into low Earth orbit. Astronomers say the low-orbiting satellite may increase congestion in space. In such a situation, there is a risk of collision between the satellites.
the plane will be the victim of the accident
According to Andy Lawrence, Regius Professor of Astronomy at the University of Edinburgh, it should burn up as it passes through the atmosphere, but even the smallest part can bring down a plane. He said: “There is a lot of satellite debris. Most of them get burned. But even a small piece can be extremely dangerous. The plane catches fire and hundreds of people can die. In fact, you have to be careful.
What is the solution?
Lawrence added: “They say they have AI algorithms to avoid collisions and make sure old satellites burn up, so we have to trust them to keep working.” And that too will happen. Professor Lawrence – who published a book on the issue last year called Losing the Sky – said he and others were not doing things like Musk to stop satellite launches altogether.
