8. (25) Low earth orbit satellites are starting to be deployed.These will likely provide a lot ofbenefits—things like access to the internet regardless of where youare on planet earth orwhat government you are governed by. These satellites, however,come with a risk. Theorbits within which they circle the earth are packed and onlygetting more so and it ispossible that one errant satellite colliding with another couldcause a knock on effect andessentially wipe out all of the low earth orbit vessels. This is anobvious case where theactions of one user of the orbit can have a massive impact uponothers. Using our tools,assess how to address the spillover that a poorly placed ormaintained satellite can have uponothers.
