SpaceX's Starlink plans to lower its satellite constellation's orbit from approximately 550 km to 480 km throughout 2026 to enhance space safety. This move aims to reduce the likelihood of collisions by condensing orbits and decreasing debris, following a recent anomaly that created a small amount of space debris. The company is adjusting its nearly 10,000-satellite network amidst a global increase in satellite deployments for various space-based services.
