Suara.com – NASA And SpaceX Agreeing a deal to avoid colliding with each other in outer space.
According to a NASA update, the deal includes a fusion and avoidance of launch crashes and a recent travel sharing mission.
The deal was made because of the large number of satellites Starling Now owned by SpaceX, which orbits Earth.
“As businesses launch more satellites, we all need to improve communications, exchange data, and establish better practices to ensure a safe space environment,” said NASA Administrator Steve Zursik.

Currently, more than 1000 Starling satellites orbit the Earth.
SpaceX is expected to continue launching satellites until it builds a galaxy with 40,000 satellites, although the project has drawn criticism from rivals and astronomers over security and scientific concerns.
NASA says Starling is equipped with GPS navigation to assess orbital parameters, ion propulsion systems and automation maneuverability to help avoid collisions.
Report from FreedomOn Sunday (21/3/2021), SpaceX announced that its satellites would maneuver automatically or manually to avoid NASA passengers.
Concern about the collision of the two space debris has increased as unused equipment orbits Earth.

Last October, a catastrophic collision between Chinese rocket debris and a deactivated Soviet satellite was prevented, with a 10 percent chance of a collision.
Such a collision could create a layer of debris around Earth that would act as a barrier to space travel.
However, there is a lack of action to clean up objects that are discarded or not used in space.
