    SpaceX calls for better coordination in orbit after near-misses with Starlink

    SpaceX's Michael Nicolls called for improved data-sharing among satellite operators to mitigate collision risks as megaconstellations proliferate in low-Earth orbit. With Starlink operating over 11,000 satellites and planned expansions by SpaceX, Amazon, and Chinese operators, the growing number of spacecraft increases collision probability despite space's vastness. Current tracking and coordination lack global treaties or regulations, relying instead on voluntary industry norms.
