Chao-c'Zprávy jsou plné japonské "první dřevěné družice" a má to velmi dobré důvody. Použití dřeva jako konstrukčního materiálu by do jisté míry řešily problém, které bude mít konstelace Starlink se zánikem obrovského množství svých družic... (na druhou stranu, re-entry hliníkové družice nemá uhlíkovou stopu, pouze hliníkovou a rovnoměrně rozptýlený hliník v atmosféře by teoreticky mohlo jít považovat za klimatický geoinženýring...)Málo se ale ví, že jako první se o stavbu a vypuštění dřevěné družice pokusili Finové.

Dave RahardjaLate to the party, but I’m starting to think that letting corporations launch thousands of satellites into low earth orbit is not a great idea.I know that companies that launch devices into orbit have to have a deorbit plan at their end of life (thanks FCC), but I wonder if plans for individual satellites scale to the thousands, or if this is sufficient to prevent the inevitable loose crap and debris clogging up LEO and risking creeping closer to the Kessler effect.I wonder if an insurance fund could be started to clean up future trash in LEO, and everyone who launches an orbiting body has to pay into it. And I wonder if such a rule would make these operations unprofitable—and if that were the case, then why are we letting them privatize their profit while the public foots the bill for their potential risk?<a href="https://sfba.social/tags/lowEarthOrbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lowEarthOrbit</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/satellites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#satellites</a>
