    • @Wordsmiths
      @Wordsmiths 2 года назад +7

      In order to make such relatively tiny things visible, they appear much larger than they actually are. Space is a very big place, even LEO, which is a very limited area of space. It isn't as crowded as this makes it look.
      However, orbital crowding is indeed going to be a problem in the near future. There will need to be more and more "orbital traffic control" in the future, not just to make sure that new satellites get into very specific orbits that won't "crowd" its neighbors at that same altitude, but to calculate launch windows for rockets that are releasing more than one satellite, and those which are only lingering in LEO just long enough to boost their payload into a higher orbit (usually a very high one like GEO).
      Not to mention orbital debris mitigation strategies and tactics, tools and best-practices.
      So it's not as bad as this makes it look, right now ...but it will be in the future if we aren't careful.

    In the late 1980's I was working for the Omani Air Force stationed at Seeb International Airport. The tropic of Cancer runs directly above Seeb, of course during daylight or for that matter nighttime with all the airport lights you could not see the sky, never mind the satellites. But sometimes in the evening we would go to a beach nearby where the airport lights or city light never got in the way. There if you just lay on the beach and just focused on the sky it was not long before you seen the satellites pass over, 100's of them. Actually that was for all of us a real magic beach. In the evening apart from the satellites we had the company of sand crabs, again 100's of them. Then if we were very lucky sometimes we would also have a chain unbroken in both direction of luminous plankton as it became visible, sometimes extremely visible as it came ashore. Truly a magical place to experience.

    I used to have a job where I had to leaves for work about 5:00 to 5:30 in the morning. I remember always seeing a satellite moving from southwest to the northeast every morning just before the sun can up. Right at that times the sun would just be reflecting off that satellite just so you could clearly see it. Not sure what type of satellite it was. I assumed because it was going south to north it was a GPS, but not sure. I guess it could have been a weather satellite.

    • @spb1179
      @spb1179 2 года назад +7

      Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but could have been an earth imaging satellite in sun synchronous orbit. A sun-synchronous satellite would be trying to get uniform lighting on the earth. A constellation of these would likely be what you would see on the way to work.

      Probably just the space station, it tends to pass over everywhere at a specific time in the day (though that slowly shifts throughout the day). It's one of the easiest objects to see in the night sky because it's about as bright as the planet Venus and is the 4th brightest object in the sky. Check to see when the next ISS pass is for you and catch it to see if it's similar, there's usually one every day though sometimes they can be in the daytime. I personally use heavens above to check this

    Great simulation Scott. Recently I had my first view of a Starlink train in the predawn sky. Currently there are only about 3200 deployed Starlink satellites. As the entire project gets deployed, will we see a continuous web of satellites in the dusk and dawn skies?
