Orbital collisions refer to the catastrophic events that occur when two or more objects in Earth's orbit collide, potentially generating massive amounts of debris and posing significant risks to operational spacecraft and satellites. As the number of satellites and other objects in Earth's orbit continues to grow, the risk of orbital collisions becomes increasingly relevant to the tech community, driving the development of collision avoidance systems, improved tracking technologies, and more sustainable space practices.
