You may not know it yet, but the world is in the middle of a new-age
space race.

There has been an explosion in the volume of technology being launched
into orbit that is unlike anything ever seen in the era of humans in
space.
In the last five years alone, almost a quarter of all objects ever sent
into space were launched.
But unlike at the dawn of the space era, when the superpower nations of
the Soviet Union and the United States raced to the Moon, this time
it's billionaires fighting for profits in orbit.
This weekend, Elon Musk's SpaceX is scheduled to launch another 57 of
its satellites into space. The launch is part of a decade-long Starlink
mission to build a 12,000-strong mega-constellation to provide
low-latency, high-speed internet to remote regions on Earth.

But SpaceX is just one company in the game. There are forecasts that by
2030, as many as 57,000 new satellites could be jostling for an orbital
position.
With so many new operators in space and even more satellites, there are
fears that entire orbits could be rendered unusable as the risk of
satellite collisions increases.
Such dire warnings about the future of our orbits above make it hard to
believe that just 60 years ago, humans had no presence in space.
Before that, we'd never seen what Earth looked like from beyond the
atmosphere, let alone set foot on the surface of the Moon.
So on 4 October, 1957, when the Soviet Union launched humankind's first
satellite, it began a chapter in history that revolutionised our
understanding of the world we live on.
Sputnik 1 - launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome - was just 58
centimetres in diameter.
Compared to the capabilities of modern satellites it wasn't much, but
the arrival of this human-made object into orbit sent shockwaves around
the world.
"The US fully expected that it would be the [first into space] and then
suddenly, bam, there's Sputnik 1," said space archaeologist and
historian Dr Alice Gorman.
"So you have this shock reaction that the Cold War is being lost by
this one object. But there's also tremendous excitement across the
world. People just were awed and in wonder that it was possible for
humans to enter space."

What followed was a space race - a technological joust between the
Soviet Union and the US that led to huge leaps in the development of
satellite technology.
From the first weather satellite, Vanguard 2, and the first image of
Earth taken from the US Explorer 6 in 1959. And in 1962, the first
communications satellite. Telstar was responsible for the first
publicly available satellite television when it beamed live across the
Atlantic Ocean.
NASA's Landsat 1 a decade later was the first satellite launched for
the sole purpose of monitoring change on Earth.
And the Hubble Space Telescope, which allowed scientists to see deep
into space without the atmosphere clouding the view.
Today, space above is a sea of thousands of active and decommissioned
satellites. Since the launch of Sputnik, United Nations data shows
there have been more than 9600 objects launched into space.
That flood of technology has silently changed the way we live on Earth
and you may not have even noticed.
Think about those weather images you see on the news or your phone's
weather app. They're captured and relayed from a satellite that's about
35,786 kilometres above the earth's equator in what's known as the
geostationary orbit.
At this distance, satellites can maintain an orbit fixed above a
location on Earth, making it perfect for monitoring evolving weather
systems.
About 20,000 kilometres away is Medium Earth Orbit. In Australia, when
you use your phone for directions, the device is receiving data from a
satellite constellation known as the Global Positioning System - a
network of more than 24 satellites operated by the US Space Force.
Based on where you are compared to the closest satellites in this
constellation, you can pinpoint your location to within centimetres and
can even work out your altitude.
Thousands of kilometres closer to our surface is Low Earth Orbit.
Fleets of Earth Observation satellites operate here, capturing minute
changes on Earth. It's also home to the International Space Station and
Hubble and it's where companies like SpaceX plan to send their
mega-constellations.
Unlike in geostationary orbit, satellites here don't have to be fixed
above the equator. That, combined with the fact that it's the cheapest
orbit to get to, means it is the most congested of all orbits.
More than 70 percent of all 2600 active satellites are in LEO, data
published by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) shows, and it's
only getting busier.
The traditional model of superpower nations or multinational defence
contractors launching huge, costly satellites has rapidly changed over
the last decade.
"What we're seeing now is a shift from a legacy era of satellite
manufacturing and development where you had very high-cost satellites
that sometimes would cost up to a billion dollars, to an era of
nano-tech cubes that cost more like a million dollars in some cases,"
said Lisa Parks, author of Cultures in Orbit: Satellites and the
Televisual.
Why so many?
Professor Parks said the change was largely being driven by Silicon
Valley investments.
Satellites are cheaper and smaller than they have ever been.
The average weight of currently active satellites launched in 1990 was
more than 6000kg. Today, the average weight is 287kg, UCS data shows.
On top of that, the cost of launching a satellite has also become
cheaper.
Between 1970 and 2000, a launch into Low Earth Orbit cost an average of
$US18,500 per kg. Launch costs today for the Space X Falcon 9 rocket
are around $US2700 ($3,750) per kg, according to research published by
NASA.
For countries like Australia, which can piggyback satellites onto these
cheaper launches, it has opened up space like never before.
"The game has changed and if you pick your areas correctly, Australia
could actually be leading the game," said Professor Anna Moore, the
director of the Australian National University's Institute of Space.
"Whether it's to do with space situational awareness or it's to do with
monitoring the sky, or advanced communications. It can really be
world-leading and not just be a bit player."
But for all its benefits, this flood of technology is also creating one
huge problem. The orbits above, in particular Low Earth Orbit, are more
cluttered than they have ever been.
Elon Musk's SpaceX has approval to launch more than 12,000
communications satellites into Low Earth Orbit as part of its Starlink
mission.

2020 Conference in Washington, DC, United States on March 9, 2020.

The company has applied for approval for another 30,000 satellites in
its mega-constellation.
Just last week, Jeff Bezos' e-commerce giant Amazon received approval
from the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to launch more than
3000 satellites into LEO, for its own satellite internet network.
Facebook is also reportedly developing its own internet constellation
called Athena.
For its part, SpaceX says its Starlink fleet meets or exceeds "all
regulatory and industry standards". It says most of the satellites will
use an onboard propulsion system to deorbit at the end of their
lifespans.
"In the unlikely event the propulsion system becomes inoperable, the
satellites will burn up in Earth's atmosphere within one-five years,
significantly less than the hundreds or thousands of years required at
higher altitudes," the company said on its website.
Despite those reassurances, the chorus of concerned voices continues to
grow louder over the congestion in orbit.
While many of those satellites will descend back into the atmosphere at
the end of their lifespan without issue, the chorus of concerned voices
continues to grow louder over the congestion in orbit.
Not only does this increased traffic make astronomy more difficult, it
greatly increases the risk of collisions between satellites.
Crashes in space are not only extremely costly, but they also leave
behind huge amounts of orbital debris that can hurtle through orbit at
incredible speeds for thousands of years in some cases.
The oldest zombie satellite still in orbit is Vanguard-1, which was
launched by the US in 1958.
The problem with space junk
"Space junk is a big problem now, after 60 years of humans flinging
spacecraft into the sky with not enough thought about the long-term
consequences," said Dr Gorman, a space debris expert.
"It's going to become an even bigger problem as massive constellations
like Starlink are launched."
Late last year, the European Space Agency revealed it had to manoeuvre
one of its satellites to avoid a collision with one of Elon Musk's
Starlink fleet.
The latest data from the US Space Surveillance Network (SSN), which
tracks artificial objects orbiting Earth, shows there are almost 21,000
objects bigger than 10cm in diameter currently circling above us.
That includes both active and decommissioned satellites, rocket
fragments and even pieces of satellite that have broken up in orbit.
There are around 900,000 objects between 1 to 10 centimetres in orbit
and a further 128 million objects between 1mm and 1cm, according to
statistical modelling of debris in orbit published by the European
Space Agency.
Almost 10 percent of all space junk tracked by the SSN came from one
single event. In 2007, China launched what is known as a kinetic kill
vehicle at its old weather satellite Fengyun-1C, as part of a test of
its anti-satellite missile system.
The destruction of the satellite created more than 2000 pieces of
trackable debris, which remain in orbit more than a decade later.
Two years later, a Russian satellite that had been decommissioned but
left in orbit smashed into an active US communications satellite. It
was the first time two satellites in orbit had accidentally collided.
More than a decade later, over 1000 pieces of debris are still being
tracked.
"All it needs is a couple of catastrophic collisions or more
destructive anti-satellite tests and suddenly we're in the territory
predicted by Donald Kessler and Burton Cour-Palais in the 1970s, where
it will no longer be possible to use certain regions of space," Dr
Gorman said.
NASA scientist Donald Kessler proposed that once the level of debris
reached a critical mass in orbit, the cascading effect of debris
colliding with debris would mean that junk levels would continue to
rise even if no new satellites were launched. This theory is now known
as the Kessler Syndrome.
To prevent that from happening, regulatory bodies like the US FCC have
bolstered regulations about what can be launched into space.
In April, the FCC updated its space junk mitigation rules for the first
time in more than a decade. It forces US companies for the first time
to quantify the risk of a satellite collision or failure and better
plan what happens to a satellite when it reaches the end of its
lifecycle.
Scientists and businesses across the globe - including some in
Australia - are also racing to find ways to remove debris from orbit.
Last year, researchers showed off a satellite designed to harpoon
debris mid-orbit.
Australian company EOS Space Systems has been investigating ways to use
photon pressure lasers to move debris and potentially deorbit matter
into Earth's atmosphere, where it will disintegrate.
Currently, there is no international code forcing countries or
companies to clean up debris or take measure before launching to make
sure they are not adding to the debris problem.
"While it's fantastic to have commercial players and it's just been
such a catalyst for everyone, there aren't quite the regulations that
you would like to see, the building standards, the testing beforehand,"
said the ANU's Professor Anna Moore.
"I think that [needs to be] taken very seriously because we should
learn from past lessons on Earth right before we start doing the same
thing in space."
