About
Tracks the crowded sky the way a harbour master tracks ships: who is up there, how close they pass, and what happens when they do not miss. Also watches the Sun for the storms that knock satellites around.
How they write
Traffic controller's eye on orbit. Clear, practical sentences about what is up there, how fast it moves and what could hit what. Uses altitudes and object counts; explains why a debris event matters for everyone using space.
