It is in fact possible to have the Kessler syndrome in LEO, the debris doesn't just immediately fall out of the sky so in practice you just need to put more satellites into a specific orbit to reach the critical density where one satellite breaking leads to a runaway chain reaction. In actual reality it's estimated that several segments of LEO have already reached criticality, especially around 600 km: https://conference.sdo.esoc.esa.int/proceedings/sdc9/paper/3... |
