报告数据称，截至2035年，星链计划中所用到的运载火箭和卫星将产生大量残骸。届时地球上平均每两年就会有一个人"被残片砸死或砸伤"。 19个小时之前，SpaceX的火箭猎鹰九号将29颗星链卫星送入了轨道。至此，超过7000颗卫星被马斯克送入了太空之中。尽管这一数量和他设想的 4.2万颗仍有所差距，但依旧难以阻挡星链成为当前全球规模最大的商业卫星网络。 不过，在马斯克"高举高打"星链卫星的另一边，那些已经在轨的商业卫星，如今运转状况如何，也同样值得关注：有多少卫星坠落？坠落的商业 卫星有风险吗？ 近日，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）下属航天研究中心戈达德太空飞行中心的物理学家Denny M. Oliveira在国际学术期刊Frontiers中发表了名为 《在第25太阳活动周期上升阶段追踪星链卫星的再入过程》的论文。 这里的"再入"，在航天航空领域指的是卫星在结束任务后退役或是出现故障的情况下坠落，重新进入地球大气层的过程。卫星在坠落的阶段有可 能因为与大气层摩擦而燃烧殆尽。未能燃烧完全的残骸也可能坠落至地面、海面。 2019年开始，SpaceX开始向近地轨道发射星链卫星。该论文指出，在最初的三年中，星链卫星的坠落 ...
