boestar Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 There is a division of the USAF that is tasked solely with tracking EVERY piece of hardware larger than your fist in orbit around earth. This is critical to preventing collisions with other spacecraft. Somewhere (I cannot find it again) there is a website that allows you to see everything in orbit and its current position. Even gives details on what it is and when launched etc. Was a very cool site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Say Again, Over! Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Makes you wonder how they can even get a geosync satellite to its altitude through the ones in the lower orbits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
