Brandon Bell/Getty Images SpaceX is calling on rival satellite companies to share more data to avoid major collisions. One of SpaceX's satellites recently had a "knife-edge" encounter with a rogue object, it said. Space is getting more and more crowded as companies race to launch thousands more satellites. SpaceX is calling out rival satellite launchers after a series of near-miss collisions with its Starlink network . In a blog post published on Tuesday, Elon Musk's rocket company warned that operators who don't share their satellites' trajectories are playing a dangerous game of chicken in Earth's orbit. SpaceX, which has around 11,000 Starlink satellites in orbit, said that the satellite internet network has had potential near-miss collisions with about 650 satellites this year, half of which did not share their position.
