The title is my first question. And my second question, more concernedly, is at what point do all of these populate low Earth orbit so heavily that they start bumping into each other regularly?
Second batch of Amazon Kuiper satellites blast off aboard Atlas V rocket
"A second batch of Amazon’s Kuiper satellites has blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket.
The game-changing satellites are set to be positioned into low Earth orbit where they will eventually be joined by over 3,000 others, allowing Amazon to provide high-speed, low-latency internet access virtually anywhere in the world."
Third question: is there going to be a point at which night sky photography is never able to get a decent picture without either these or Starlink satellites in the image?
There's a video of these space vermin being released in this linked article.
