A little bit of distance which is e.g. 100kms on earth will be around 10000kms in Space, because space is huge. The satellites you’re talking about are barely a few 100 meters in length. In a area where a small distance that may seem to us, is actually a very large distance.

There’s a game, universe sandbox, you may wanna try out the Satellite tracking function on it. And you can also see how huge distances are between these satellites.
