Elon Musk's SpaceX denies two satellites nearly collided in disaster space crash
Elon Musk's SpaceX claims there was no "close call" between Starlink and OneWeb satellites in orbit after reports suggested an incident "almost ended in disaster". Reports released by The Verge on April 9 claimed the two satellites came within 190 feet of each other in orbit on April 4, which sparked several "red alerts" from the US Space Force's 18th Space Control Squadron.However, SpaceX's director of satellite policy, David Goldman, has disputed the claims that the incident was a "close call", as the publication described it.
