ISLAMABAD - The space habitat development company Bigelow Aerospace tweeted on Tuesday that two inoperative satellites, the US’s Genesis II and Russia’s Soviet-era Cosmos 1300, might collide.

While the odds of a crash are only 5.6 percent, Bigelow Aerospace, the owner of Genesis II, says it’s another troubling sign that Earth’s orbit is becoming dangerously crowded.

Bigelow Aerospace followed up with a warning about the rapid proliferation of space junk, a problem raised earlier when one of SpaceX’s numerous StarLink satellites nearly crashed into a European Space Agency observation satellite.

“This proliferation, if not controlled in number, could become very dangerous to human life in low Earth orbit,” Bigelow Aerospace tweeted.

The Bigelow Aerospace Genesis-2 module, designed to test the technology of commercial space stations, was launched into orbit in June 2007 and worked for about 2.5 years. The developer planned to create a commercial space station from transformable modules.

The Soviet-era satellite Cosmos-1300 was launched in August 1981 as part of the Tselina-D military space-based radio surveillance system.


Webby @WebMaster can we have subforum for space & space warfare because going into the future we will get more and more news about it and it becomes difficult to ascertain which section or subforum is suitable for it.

A small satellite with attitude control thrusters can change the orbit of one of the satellites in question this will save our near earth
space from additional debris.

For now, lets use science and tech forum?

The liability in case of accident would be huge.
Simpler solution is to fire a missile and destroy one or both of the satelites but this needs to be done by the countries themself otherwise it could be taken as an act of war. No doubt anti satellite missile are available with both USA and Russia

Still outer space can not be used to be weaponized but things can change.

That will exactly do what I am trying to prevent.
