SpaceX mega constellation raises concerns of increased satellite collisions

NASA is raising concerns that the Starlink satellite project developed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX will essentially create over-crowded highways in space that could lead to collisions between objects in low-Earth orbit.

Starlink aims to eventually deploy more than 40,000 small satellites into orbit to form a mega constellation capable of providing broadband internet service all over the world, including in remote and underserved locations.
