Given PLEO satellites orbit at ~7.8 km/s with cross-sectional area A, if one collision creates m debris (m > 1), how can we prevent:
P = (N² · A · v · Δt) / (2V)
from triggering a Kessler Syndrome cascade? (N = total objects, V = orbital volume, v = relative velocity.) 2/2
P = (N² · A · v · Δt) / (2V)
from triggering a Kessler Syndrome cascade? (N = total objects, V = orbital volume, v = relative velocity.) 2/2
Despite accounting for spread, size, & orbit randomness, how can we prevent an adversary's ASAT kinetic attacks from causing a cascade in PLEO? Most of their tests have been kinetic, and even with reduced collisions, the threat persists.

As a child, I fell in love with the Atlas rocket. I didn’t know much about rockets or space, but a picture of Atlas in a book captured my heart. Little did I know how much it would shape my life. I still love Atlas, and congratulations again Tory for this incredible launch!

People on the East Coast will be able to watch the mighty Atlas rocket launch on April 14!
Best of luck @ulalaunch.bsky.social @torybruno.bsky.social!

Questions: How close are we to solving power, thermal management, and beam propagation challenges for space-based DEWs? Also, for RL10C-X engines, I presume surface roughness boosts performance via turbulence, but what trade-offs come with it?

Despite accounting for spread, size, & orbit randomness, how can we prevent an adversary's ASAT kinetic attacks from causing a cascade in PLEO? Most of their tests have been kinetic, and even with reduced collisions, the threat persists.

Everyone is Thinking About Pilotless & AI Aircraft Wrong
The debate rages on. Should we take the pilots out of aircraft? Does Artificial Intelligence change how we should think about this?
