The future of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is both promising and challenging. 🌌 With increasing commercial interest and satellite activity, congestion and collision risks are becoming a growing concern. Daniel Bock, CEO of Morpheus Space, highlights the need for precision propulsion systems like the GO-2 to ensure safe satellite maneuvering and extend mission lifespans. As LEO becomes more crowded, space sustainability is key. Active deorbiting solutions are now essential to manage growing space debris. The rise of mega-constellations brings both opportunities and challenges in traffic management and service resilience. Despite these hurdles, LEO remains a critical economic zone for communication and Earth observation, offering significant potential for innovation and growth. https://lnkd.in/ewmJnxzZ #SpaceTech #LEO #SatelliteInnovation #SpaceSustainability #MorpheusSpace
