Example Prompt
Try this with ChatGPT using the Satellite Tracker tool
Get recent satellite launches using satellite-tracker. Write a policy briefing on orbital sustainability covering launch volumes by orbit type, which constellations are growing fastest, and the key risks for the space environment.
Tips
- Ask for a comparison between commercial, government, and research launch shares
- Request a five-year projection based on announced constellation plans vs actual launch rates
- Ask ChatGPT to frame the analysis for different audiences: regulators vs investors vs engineers
