GeoEye Satellites Dodging Space Junk
Here are the stats, shared by William Schuster, the company’s chief operating officer, at the Strategic Space Symposium held Tuesday in Omaha, Nebaraska.
The company has had to move the 10-year-old Ikonos satellite seven times to avoid space junk. It's had to move GeoEye-1, in orbit just over a year four times.
Bottom line: the more fuel used to move the birds around, the shorter their productive life in space. On the other hand, getting "wacked" may put them out of commission forever.
