So, I've just had it confirmed from another ESA source that #SpaceX refused to move their #Starlink satellite when they were alerted to the risk of collision with #Aeolus, which was 1 in 1,000, ten times higher than the threshold for a collision avoidance manoeuvre. (1/5)

SpaceX knows their satellite is cheap and just a test bed. ESA's not so much so they are the ones that needed to move. A game of space based chicken.

Why highlight the story on who bears the responsibility of moving out of the way. The real story here, from what I see, is there isn’t some type of formal registration process for all those involved with their devices & LEO.

That's covered extensively in the article. But with SpaceX planning to launch 12,000 satellites, and touting their avoidance ability, I think this is worthy of highlighting.

This would be an act of aggression if it were country-to-country, no? Can this satellite be ... ahem... removed?

Not an act of aggression, just a stark reminder that our current rules and guidelines are inadequate to deal with the thousands of impending mega constellation satellites in orbit.

I recommend reading the tweet thread by
@IridiumBoss. Automated systems are there but humans are involved in decision making.

Thanks for all that info! On the one hand, this reaffirms that we need binding international rules, a space traffic law. OTOH, I‘m wondering if it’s really a good idea for SpaceX to have set this kind of precedent.

Elon Musk army of twitter pseudobots is alive and kicking, I see, they came at you in full swing. Religious fanatics are all the same no matter what God they pray to.
