    Earth's lower orbit, already crowded with tens of thousands of satellites, may soon choke with many more, underscoring a need for stringent laws regarding the use of shared orbital space, according to new research.

    More specifically, experts believe more than a million satellites are headed to low-Earth orbit.

    To arrive at that figure, researchers studied recent filings in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) database, which is a United Nations agency responsible for granting spaces in orbit for satellite use.

    To launch and operate satellite populations, nations are required to submit relevant information to the ITU.

    The BlueWalker 3 satellite was fulled deployed on Nov. 14, 2022, making it the "largest-ever commercial communications array in low Earth orbit," at 693 square feet, according to AST SpaceMobile.

    A satellite constellation is a group of artificial satellites working together as a system.

    Unlike a single satellite, a constellation can provide permanent global or near-global coverage, such that at any time everywhere on Earth at least one satellite is visible.

    Satellites are typically placed in sets of complementary orbital planes and connect to globally distributed ground stations.

    They may also use inter-satellite communication.

    By Paulsava

    The GPS constellation calls for 24 satellites to be distributed equally among six orbital planes.

    Notice how the number of satellites in view from a given point on the Earth's surface, in this example at 40°N, changes with time.
