The Chaos Above Our Heads

When most people imagine Earth’s orbit, they picture a clean, endless expanse of nothingness.

But the reality is far from that.

Above our heads lies one of the most congested and chaotic environments humanity has ever created—and it is getting worse.

A Growing Problem: Orbital Debris and Congestion

One of the biggest challenges faced by the global space sector today is orbital debris.

These are not just harmless pieces of metal floating in space—they are fragments of old satellites, defunct spacecraft, and abandoned rocket bodies travelling at speeds high enough to destroy active systems instantly.

Over the last two decades, the rapid deployment of satellites has transformed Earth’s orbit. Governments, space agencies, and private companies are spending billions to dominate this new frontier.

And with that ambition has come an unprecedented rise in activity.

The Explosion in Satellite Launches

In 2013, the world launched around 200 satellites.

A decade later, that number has surged to more than 2,600 satellites annually- a more than 1,000% increase.

These satellites power critical systems we depend on daily:

• telecommunications
• internet connectivity
• global banking
• weather forecasting
• navigation
• earth observation

While the benefits are undeniable, they come at a cost.

The Real Threat: A Fragile Global Network

Orbital debris does not just threaten billion-dollar spacecraft.

The real danger lies in the possibility of a widespread global connectivity disruption—a cascade of collisions that could wipe out the satellite infrastructure that keeps modern society running.

And yet, the public still has limited awareness of this growing crisis.

Why? Because most of the threat is invisible.

A Human-Centered Problem Requires Human-Centered Solutions

While the problem is highly technical, the solution begins with understanding.

This is why Skyta is building an AI-powered platform that visualizes raw orbital data in interactive 3D, making the complexities of space exploration easy for society to grasp.

Our mission is simple:

You can only protect what you can see.

Skyta goes beyond satellite tracking.
