Here’s a scenario, there are 2 satellites in the exact same orbit, orbiting in the exact same direction, satellite 1 is travelling at 28000 km/h, satellite 2 is traveling at 28000.01 km/h and is on a collision course, when they collide, will they destroy each other or will it be more of a light tap?
