“As far as we know, no coordination or deconfliction with existing satellites operating in space was performed, resulting in a 200 meter close approach between one of the deployed satellites and STARLINK-6079 (56120) at 560 km altitude.”

personally, i think all satellites live positions should be public at all times, with launching them being more accessible, it becomes harder to coordinate everyone who may or may not have a satellite.
I think they are and that’s why it’s ridiculous. China for sure is aware of all satellite positions, regardless of public databases.
Seems more like an incompetence thing, but then again we see how they behave in Philippine waters and in general. They don’t give a fuck and think the world belongs to them.
And so do the US, and especially Musk. So what happens when an unnstoppable force meets an immovable obect?
