It’s quite difficult to determine the exact number orbiting the Earth on a particular day, 14000 to 15000.
There are currently 111 satellites that are orbiting objects other than the Earth.
There were 639 launches in the first three months of 2025.
While you are probably thinking that it’s amazing that we have almost 15 000 satellites are orbiting the Earth, not all of them are working.
There are a significant number that have gone wrong, run out of fuel, or got to the end of their life.
They were simple left up in space or expected to go into a decaying orbit and eventually come back to Earth.
There are almost 4 000 useless metal objects above our heads travelling at up to 28 000 kilometres an hour!
Once one of them goes off course and crashes into another it will cause a domino effect.
Just imagine what will happen on earth. The collapse of all communication.
One of the great challenges will be how is responsible when they start to break up into metal rain.
A solar flare could damage all the electronics in orbiting satellites, disrupting navigation and communications systems, as well as the GPS time synchronisation that the internet relies on to function.
All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
