Someone could soon be killed or injured by falling satellites every two years, US official report warns
Someone could soon be killed or injured by falling satellites every two years, US official report warns
Someone could soon be at risk of dying or being injured by a falling satellite every other year, according to a new report. By 2035, if SpaceX’s Starlink space internet satellites continue to grow in number, then they some 28,000 pieces of them will be falling from the sky each year, according to a report from the Federal Aviation Authority. The chance of one surviving its fall to the ground and injuring or killing someone would be 0.6 per year, it said – which would make it likely to happen once every two years. They could even pose a risk to aircraft, it said. The probability of an aircraft being downed by a satellite would be 0.0007 per year by 2035, the report claimed. The report was commissioned amid increasing concern about falling space debris, and the vast collection of material that has been put into space in recent years. Companies such as SpaceX are launching more and more satellites each years, and experts have warned that there is a danger of collisions both in space as well as on the ground. The new report aimed to evaluate the risk posed by that falling space debris. It also suggests that some of the danger could be limited with more regulation. But it notes that the FAA does not have any power over launches that happen outside of the US. As with many of the problems in space, the world currently lacks an international approach to space debris, new satellites and the dangers that those objects might pose. The report primarily looked at the constellation of satellites that have been launched and are planned by SpaceX, for instance. The company has launched 5,000 such satellites already, and plans to increase that dramatically, and SpaceX represents over 85 per cent of the risk posed to people on the ground, the FAA’s report said. But it did not look at other networks of satellites planned in other countries. Recent reports have suggested that China is planning its own huge constellation of satellites that will also offer their own space internet, named Guowang, for example. SpaceX has said that the analysis used to calculate the number is “deeply flawed” and based on false assumptions about the danger posed by its satellites. The company’s satellites are more likely to burn up on entry than the report assumed, the company’s principal engineer David Goldstein wrote in a letter to the FAA, according to a report from Space News.

Wales’ Euro 2024 qualifying defeat to Armenia a necessary ‘slap’ – boss Rob Page
Wales’ Euro 2024 qualifying defeat to Armenia a necessary ‘slap’ – boss Rob Page
Rob Page suggested Wales’ Euro 2024 qualifying defeat to Armenia was a necessary “slap” as he surveyed the wreckage of one of the most humiliating losses in the nation’s football history. Armenia ran out shock 4-2 winners in Cardiff, despite being ranked 97th in the world and 71 places lower than Wales. Page’s side – who took four points from their March games away to Croatia and at home to Latvia – would have topped Group D with victory in Cardiff. Instead a first European Championship qualifying defeat at home since 2011 dropped them to third in the group as Turkey won 3-2 in Latvia. Wales’ next qualifier is away to Turkey in Samsun on Monday. “They fell well short of the standards they have set before,” said Page. “I didn’t see that coming. It has really shocked me. “Everything happens for a reason, perhaps it’s the slap we need, a little bit of a reality check. “Everybody is starry-eyed and getting carried away. Yes, we had a great start in March but there are no bad teams now anymore. “Look at what Turkey had to do in the 96th minute against Latvia.” Daniel James’ sixth international goal fired Wales into an early lead, but Armenia exploited some dreadful home defending to lead by the half-hour mark through Lucas Zelarayan and Grant-Leon Ranos. Armenia extended their lead through Ranos before Harry Wilson reduced the deficit with 18 minutes to play. Ranos hit the post before Zelarayan’s second killed off Wales and home misery was completed 12 minutes from time when Kieffer Moore was sent off for a kick on goalkeeper Ognjen Chancharevich. Page confirmed that Wales would not appeal Moore’s red card and the Bournemouth striker will now miss the Turkey game. “I felt such in a positive place before the game, full of confidence and I didn’t see that coming,” Page said. “That’s really shocked me as much as anyone else. “The fundamentals of what we stand for, what we represent, the hard work…we were too expansive and that’s not what we’re all about. “We’re hard-working and we pride ourselves in doing the not-so-pretty side of it. “They taught us a lesson in that, how to do the not-so-pretty side of the game.” Victory was especially sweet for Armenia manager Oleksandr Petrakov, who was in charge of Ukraine for their World Cup play-off final defeat in Cardiff exactly 12 months ago. Petrakov said: “We have a game in Latvia in three days so if we go on celebrating, this victory will not mean anything. “It’s more or less the same Wales team apart from Gareth Bale so I can not under-estimate the valuation of my team. “My only objective as Armenia coach is to is to qualify for a major tournament.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Michael O’Neill: Northern Ireland ‘angry and upset’ after disallowed equaliser Sam Curran claims five as Surrey beat Somerset in top-of-the-table showdown Matt Fitzpatrick keeps US Open defence alive with first professional ace
