The CRASH Clock is a new tool designed to measure dangerous overcrowding in low Earth orbit, where a single solar storm could trigger catastrophic collisions. Each dot in a plot represents a tracked object in this orbit, highlighting the increasing congestion and risk of collisions. This technology aims to address concerns related to the Kessler syndrome, space debris, and satellite operations in low Earth orbit.
