"...the CRASH Clock, which is currently below three days (Thiele et al. 2026)11. The CRASH Clock is an environmental metric that asks what is the timescale for conjunctions to occur that could lead to a collision if all forms of satellite management were to stop. There is already little time to react to a widespread failure of a large system, and ODCs of tens of thousands to one million satellites could give essentially no possibility of having a usable reaction time." https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.02757
