Introducing FragSat Space Junk

FragSat is more than a satellite - it's a cloud of over 70 billion steel ball bearings packed into a payload fairing. Say goodbye to your competitor's megaconstellations with FragSat, guaranteed to increase the rate of collisions in orbit by orders of magnitude. Taking advantage of the increase in payload to orbit offered by new launchers, we're planning on up to twenty launches per year of pure steel, rendering entire families of orbits unusable for centuries. Just another way we're bringing space down to Earth. Introducing FragSat. The only satellite dedicated to increasing space junk.

A mock advertisement introduces FragSat, a satellite packed with over 70 billion steel ball bearings and launched repeatedly into orbit. The joke is a satirical exaggeration of space warfare and orbital debris, presenting the deliberate destruction of competitors’ satellite constellations as a product benefit.
