Kayhan Space is making orbit safer with timely, automatic collision warnings for satellites

With over 3,000 satellites and counting plus thousands of pieces of space junk all the in low orbit you need automated collision and traffic control!

"... Space may seem like a big place, but low Earth orbit is actually pretty crowded, relatively speaking. With thousands of satellites zooming around on all kinds of trajectories, and tens of thousands of pieces of space junk as well, the chances your spacecraft will have to juke a bit to avoid a screw going 20,000 mph or so are getting higher. When orbits overlap to the point that a collision is possible, it’s called a “conjunction” — a more neutral term than “collision course,” certainly. ..."
