According to the report, 12,597 spacecraft were in orbit as of December 31, 2023, with a surge in satellite deployments, largely driven by SpaceX's Starlink.
A congestion problem is emerging in Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO) due to decreasing average separation between satellites, indicating a need for precise space domain awareness.
There are concerns about overcrowding in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) as well, with thousands of inactive satellites posing risks to operational satellites providing essential services.
