联合国已警告说,由于卫星和空间碎片激增,低地轨道的危险日益增大,呼吁开展全球合作,建立一个共同的数据库和规则,以管理轨道交通。 The United Nations has warned of growing dangers in Low Earth Orbit due to a surge in satellites and space debris, calling for global cooperation to create a shared database and rules to manage orbital traffic. 目前,14 000多颗卫星(包括非活动卫星)和约1.2亿片碎片对空间安全和全球通信构成威胁。 Currently, over 14,000 satellites, including inactive ones, and about 120 million pieces of debris pose a threat to space safety and global communications. 缺乏中央集权系统以及对安全和商业秘密的关切阻碍了防止碰撞的努力。 The lack of a centralized system and concerns over security and commercial secrets are hindering efforts to prevent collisions.
