Jonathan's traffic report for yesterday included the 35 days since our previous subcommittee meeting. A few highlights:

There were 42 launches in the last 35 days, 16 of which were Starlink.

There were 617 new objects catalogued in orbit, 455 of them Starlinks (all V2 "mini", which are like 800kg, scares me that they consider that "mini"). The next largest batch addition after Starlink was 32 of China's Guowang megaconstellation.
