Will two scrapped satellites or collision pose a threat to mankind

Two scrapped satellites of the United States and the Soviet Union are about to collide? Bigelow Aerospace, a US space capsule company, tweeted on the 17th that the two scrapped satellites of Genesis II and cosmos 1300 of the Soviet Union may collide.

The Russian satellite news agency said on the 18th that Bigelow space wrote on twitter, "today, the US Air Force told us that Genesis 2 has a 5.6% chance to communicate with the Soviet Union within 15 hours; Universe 1300 & rsquo; Collision. "

The report said that although the probability of impact is only 5.6%, Bigelow Aerospace said that this is another disturbing sign that the earth orbit is becoming dangerous and crowded. 'although this is a relatively low probability, it indicates that the low earth orbit is becoming more and more chaotic.'

Later, Bigelow Airlines warned on twitter about the rapid spread of space waste, 'if this spread is not controlled, it will pose a very dangerous threat to human life in low earth orbit.'

The Russian satellite news agency said that the Genesis 2 satellite was launched into orbit in June 2007 to test the technology of the commercial space station and has worked for about 2.5 years. Another satellite, the Soviet Union's Cosmos 1300, was launched into orbit in August 1981 as part of the tselina-d military space-based radio surveillance system.
