This is an amazing app that allows you to see (almost) live all the #satellites and #debris (in LEO*) that are in #orbit above our heads.

You can pick one #satellite and get many info, including its orbit.

yeah, it's completely crowded, but we keep launching more and more #rockets 🚀 and much more satellites, like if our ressources were unlimited.

*LEO: low-Earth orbit (~300km up to 2000km)

@AlexSanterne @cnes as I wrote recently, Kessler syndrome is one of the things I quite confidently believe to see in my lifetime.

@hllizi @cnes I am honestly hoping for a Kessler syndrome ASAP (in LEO). Yeah, that will be bad and billion $ will be lost, but I'm convinced that this is only shock the space industry can understand to get regulated.

Space is the new WildWest and this crazy international competition is costing us millions of ton CO2eq.

@AlexSanterne @cnes yeah, I also wouldn't mind that much anymore.
