Satellites in orbit threaten science and challenge the space market

The unchecked proliferation of equipment in low Earth orbit threatens the integrity of global astronomical observations, revealing a deep conflict between telecommunications infrastructure and the preservation of scientific knowledge. With the advance of commercial constellations operated by tech giants, the number of space objects has surged, creating luminous trails that compromise data capture at benchmark observatories like those in Chile's Atacama Desert. This expansion reflects the race for global connectivity and asset monetization, challenging scientific research without immediate regulatory safeguards. Within the macroeconomic landscape, the commercial dollar is quoted at R$ 5.1714, a 1.47% increase over 7 days and a 0.63% drop over 30 days, impacting imported inputs and high-tech maintenance costs. Meanwhile, the Selic rate remains at 14.00% per year, and the 12-month IPCA registers 4.23% compared to previous levels of 4.26%, demonstrating structural cost rigidity affecting corporate risk appetite. This technological and regulatory friction adds to institutional vulnerabilities monitored by Clareza Capital, marking the seventh consecutive negative bias notification regarding systemic risks and asset governance. As capital seeks exponential returns in high-tech sectors, the lack of global regulations creates a space environmental liability that may prove costly to future economic cycles.
