Hi Maurice, re:collisions, I've gotta support Mr. A on this one.... The consequences of a collision for LEO constellations are potentially so catastrophic (one could make entire orbital planes or even altitudes unusable) that constellation and mission planners go to great expense to prevent them. I don't know of any spacecraft collisions to date, but most commercial satellites are nicely spaced at geo altitude, all travelling by definition at the same speed and plane. As we fill up the leo orbital shells, first w/ Iridium and G*, soon (maybe) with Skybridge and Teledesic, more discipline, not less, will be required in keeping spacecraft exactly where they're supposed to be at all times. Regards, RS
