this doesn't make sense to me. The ISS can go as low as 360km before

6 years before they deorbit it)
These satellites would be in the way of supply missions to/from ISS.
so does that mean that nothing can orbit lower than the ISS beacuse of a launch
every few months may need to schedule?
but they would avoid the thousands of satellites going up and down
through the ISS orbit range to get to their ~550km orbit/
They don't linger there, so that's different.
so overlapping altitudes that don't linger are better than non-overlapping
altitudes? that doesn't make sense to me.
