(meteorobs) satellite baseball
I was wondering, with all the satellites and God knows what else
orbiting the Earth right now and especially with the recent collision of
Mir, is there any documentation on the chances that a satellite could,
or has been struck by a meteor?
It seems that there is a pretty good chance that this could happen,
especially when you think about how many satellites are out there.
Isn't it like several hundred satellites, or some such number?
Does it happen more often than we're led to believe?
