Gregory's Server@sundogplanets this made me think... If the orbit is so dense with objects, how it is posible to make a space launch to the outer space without colliding with anything? I dont think just expecting being lucky. There is a "comunication languaje" anything in orbit has to use to manouber or at least say its location?
I found this cool and interesting link which shows unimaginable number of objects around the globe. It is tracked on real time? How?

Would be great if you can at least hint me were to find answers. I can imagine the topic could cover an entire book if explained in detail.
@loko @sundogplanets One <1km pass every 30s is for the whole globe and the whole constellation of thousands of satellites, the density at any given place is still one per several hundreds kilometers or more.
Even if this escalated to constant collisions between sats and debris (Kessler syndrome) , a object ascending through this orbit could still pass through with no trouble, a single object would have to spend months in the orbit before the probability of impact reaches 1.
