Artemis Era Raises Safety Concerns as Lunar Orbit Nears Capacity, New Study Finds

As lunar exploration surges, scientists warn that the Moon’s limited stable orbits are growing crowded. Georgia Tech simulations suggest that with about 50 satellites, each may need several collision-avoidance maneuvers per year. Even now, orbiters like Chandrayaan-2 require frequent course corrections. With Artemis and private missions incoming, agencies are develo…As lunar exploration surges, scientists warn that the Moon’s limited stable orbits are growing crowded.
