SpaceX accuses Amazon of orbital debris violations

SpaceX has formally accused Amazon of violating orbital debris mitigation requirements by launching its Leo satellites into excessively high initial orbits. SpaceX claims these higher altitudes increase collision risks with operational spacecraft and satellites. Amazon denies the allegations, stating its launches comply with license terms and that SpaceX itself previously used similar altitudes. The dispute highlights the growing tensions between satellite internet providers and raises concerns about space traffic management and safety as constellations expand.
