How do rockets launched into space not collide with satellites?
In: Engineering
They track possible satellite collisions from earth. Additionally, the odds of hitting a large man-made satellite (which number in the thousands) are astronomically low given the volume of space around earth. That said, collisions with space debris are increasingly a problem as countries send more stuff into orbit. Every orbiting satellite (which means anything that orbits the planet) is an additional factor they have to take into account when launching a new satellite.
