Space Traffic Jam: SpaceX Urges Global Cooperation After Starlink Close Encounters

SpaceX has officially called for enhanced international coordination and stricter standards for orbital safety following several near-miss incidents involving its Starlink satellite constellation. Recent reports revealed conjunctions where satellites passed within tens to hundreds of meters of one another, a distance considered dangerously close in high-speed orbital dynamics. The company emphasizes that as more private and public entities launch mega-constellations, the current system of avoidance maneuvers must evolve into a more structured, automated, and transparent framework to ensure the long-term sustainability of space activities.
