The European Space Agency says it had to dodge a SpaceX satellite because the company wouldn't move it out of the way. A software bug may be to blame.

SpaceX launched 60 experimental Starlink internet satellites in May, one of which had a 1-in-1,000 chance of hitting a European Space Agency spacecraft on Monday. The ESA said it had to move its satellite, called Aeolus, out of the way because SpaceX said it had"no plan to take action." However, SpaceX said Tuesday that the decision was based on earlier information, when a satellite collision risk was lower.
