The European Space Agency tweeted that it moved it\u2019s Earth observation satellite Aeolus<\/a> to avoid a possible crash with one of SpaceX\u2019s Starlink satellites. The Musk-backed company launched its first 60<\/a> satellites in May, getting a running start on the company of the other billionaire funding space exploration, Jeff Bezos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time ever, ESA has performed a ‘collision avoidance manoeuvre’ to protect one of its satellites from colliding with a ‘mega constellation’#SpaceTraffic<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/kmXvAgpj1U<\/a>\u2014 ESA Operations (@esaoperations) September 2, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The ESA said this is the first time it\u2019s performed a maneuver to avoid a collision and protect its satellites, but they believe this will become so common that using a manual process will be impossible. The agency said in a tweet<\/a> they are preparing artificial intelligence to automate avoidance maneuvers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
