Nice to see United Kingdom using a predictable trajectory. Dismayed by so many other nations just crapping all over the planet without consideration though. The lack of foresight is frustrating.


It's just because a very significant amount of UK satellites are OneWeb Internet satellites.


They're not really crapping all over. Orbits at different altitudes rotate around the planet from precession so any satellites spread out randomly over time.


What makes a trajectory unpredictable? Noisy TLEs?
