As more and more governments and their people rely on the services that satellites provide, the space environment has become more congested. Militaries have also begun to use the technologies that satellites enable to give them a competitive advantage. These advancements have provided great incentive to governments and other groups to develop weapons that can disable the empowering satellites of other nations and peoples. This has caused the dawning of a new threat environment that spacecraft providers now need to consider when creating their designs.

There are more than 2,000 active satellites orbiting Earth. At the end of their useful lives, many will simply burn up as they reenter the atmosphere. But some will continue circling as "zombie" satellites — neither alive nor quite dead."Most zombie satellites are satellites that are no longer under human control, or have failed to some degree," says Scott Tilley. Tilley, an amateur radio operator ((VE7TIL) living in Canada, has a passion for hunting them down. In 2018, he found a signal from a NASA probe called IMAGE that the space agency had lost track of in 2005. With Tilley's help, NASA was able to reestablish contact. But he has tracked down zombies even older than IMAGE.
