How Satellite Megaconstellations are Entrenching Space
Ashwin Prasad, policy researcher and author on space governance, explains how rapid satellite launches are reshaping low Earth orbit. He discusses Starlink’s scale, why 400–600 km is prized, collision and congestion risks, spectrum and ITU limits. Short-term fixes like SSA and debris removal and longer-term governance ideas such as orbital charging and cooperative clubs are also explored.
