This is the second such launch in a year, which has significantly increased the number of satellites in orbit.

Observers are concerned about the presence of a large number of such satellites. "If something breaks in space, it's going to be hard to fix," says Tim Farrar, president of a satellite communications consultancy. "It's not just a broken car on the side of the road."

In September, ESA's Aeolus Earth observation satellite used maneuvering boosters to avoid a potential collision with one of the Starlink Mask satellites launched in May.

SpaceX said the network is capable of operating safely: "Starlink is at the forefront of solving the problem of debris in orbit, and meets all regulations and industry standards."

In January 2019, the European Space Agency estimated that more than a million debris circled around the planet, the size of which exceeds one centimeter.

The goal of the Mask is to launch 1600 satellites into orbit to provide coverage. In order for the system to start working, you need 400-800 satellites.
