Zhuque-2E Debris Escalates Collision Risk for Starlink and ISS

The breakup of China's Zhuque-2E rocket in heavily trafficked low-Earth orbit has created a significant debris field threatening the Starlink constellation and International Space Station. This incident underscores the growing collision risks posed by expanding satellite networks in increasingly congested orbital zones. As commercial space operations accelerate, international coordination on debris tracking and orbital safety becomes essential to protect critical infrastructure in near-Earth space.
