More satellite questions if anyone has the time to answer… Just basing these questions on some “space junk” animation that I once saw. I was stargazing recently and spotted a satellite – which is pretty common. But not nearly common enough to correlate with all the space junk out there. Do most satellite just not have lights? And is that stuff always colliding together? Seems like that would be inevitable unless there’s some master orbit plan that keeps everything in its own lane up there.

Some satellites are put into geostationary orbit (35,785KM) others are put into low earth orbit (160-2000km). They are launched from a rocket up to whatever orbit it needs. See [this](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/COCAIPtVA2M/maxresdefault.jpg) image for an example of how orbits are launched
