Apple Co-Founder Wants to Send More Satellites to Space! Privateer to Build Own Sat Constellation?

Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak announced that his space firm, Privateer, is now preparing to launch its own satellites into outer space.

Wozniak explained that they would launch around hundreds of stats slowly.

"I think we're looking at several hundred satellites. We won't launch all several hundred at once; we'll just slowly build it up," said Steve.

He added that these rockets would observe a huge debris dataset, using information from different sources. Privateer's upcoming satellite constellation is expected to help many researchers to identify the real threats posed by the rising space junk issue outside Earth.

They can use the acquired information to make more accurate predictions about how long the dead rockets and other junk would stay in orbit. You can visit this link to see more details.

US Space Force Also Wants to Solve Space Debris Crisis

The Wired reported that the U.S. Space Force is also planning to make its own efforts to help solve the rising space junk crisis, especially since a Russian anti-satellite weapon recently led to more debris.

The involvement of the American agency clearly shows that the problem with none-working rockets and other junk orbiting the planet is really a serious one.
