I think that there were no reported cases of Starlink debris hitting the ground (they're designed to burn up in atmosphere). There was a case of SpaceX's Dragon parts hitting the ground lately, but that's a different thing. Also debris hitting the ground is a different issue than debris in orbit, with different problems to solve - you can have a satellite that has 0 chance to hit the ground, while being a serious hazard in space. It's in SpaceX best interest to not leave debris in orbit, because any debris from Starlink would be a threat to Starlink itself. |
