The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was forced to delay the launch of its SpaDeX mission by two minutes due to a "traffic jam" in space, caused by a satellite from Elon Musk's SpaceX. The delay, which was a precautionary measure, was taken to avoid potential collision risks with the SpaceX satellite already in orbit. SpaceX, through its Starlink project, has been rapidly expanding its satellite network, leading to congestion in low Earth orbit, and raising concerns about satellite collisions and space traffic management. ISRO's decision highlights the increasing challenges of managing space traffic as private satellite companies like SpaceX continue to launch more satellites into space.
