Supercomputers simulated the orbits of 1 million satellites between Earth and the moon — and less than 10% survived
SMRTR summary
Supercomputers simulated one million satellite orbits between Earth and the moon, revealing that only 9.7% would remain stable for six years due to complex gravitational forces from Earth, moon, and sun, plus solar radiation effects. While this seems discouraging, it still identifies 97,000 viable orbits for future cislunar space infrastructure.
