Space debris — man-made threat in space exploration 2005-10-14 23:42:46 Xinhua English BEIJING, Oct. 15 (Xinhuanet) — Human activities are not only leaving wastes on the Earth, but also polluting space. Space debris has posed a great concern in the countries which pursue space exploration. However, Chinese experts say the operating Shenzhou-6, the nation’s second manned spacecraft, is unlikely hit by space debris as scientists are capable of monitoring space debris. SPACE NO MORE A CLEAN PLACE Since the former Soviet Union sent the first satellite into space in 1957, human exploration of space has left numerous debris,or rubbish, in the vast space. Space debris refers to artificial objects or fragments cast off in space, whether on purpose or not. A total of 29000 larger pieces of space debris have been tracked in the past 48 years of space activities. About 20000 of them have fallen to the Earth. Currently, 9600 pieces of space debris which are larger than 10 cm are monitored. Only the United States and Russia conduct monitoring all such debris, said Gong Jiancun, a research fellow with the space technology and application center under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The pieces bigger than one mm but smaller than 10 cm cannot be monitored, Gong said, and those smaller than one mm pose no disastrous threat to space vehicles. There are some 500 pieces of space debris passing through the orbit of Shenzhou-6 spacecraft, which is flying in a circular orbit 343 km above the …

@ Thylicine I have a little faith in the man shaving plane, we are only children in many areas, we must mature in many façons.A About waste there is some risk to satellites and ISS, but the images are not so at 2:24 is not so dangerous as to make it look. The space between 50-500 km, there is too great if one takes into account the Earth’s surface, imagine all the waters of the Pacific as an example
@ KissmytwinkysIls at least 22,000 miles of travel per hour. . .
The United States has also used a missile to shoot down a satellite and has caused a lot of space debris.
Great. We managed to live in space, too. We really have to be destroyed or extinguished.
The Earth is the ghetto of the universe. Foreign or other intelligent creatures from other solar systems and planets are laughing at us.
soooo not after all the garbage UFO artificial juice, there is a scratch on my list conspiracey now “bigfoot”
Not bad, we have to use the sea to dump the things we’re spending billions so you only can do the same in space. This is a plot to make it too dangerous for us to escape??
QQ WOW what a mess!
Now run a giant magnet:) Just kidding. . . Most of the waste must be nonmetallic.
Look at this mess !!!!!!!!! wow
Debris should not be taken away just to get into the atmosphere and burned.
I like the idea! Well, who wants to build a garbage truck and magnetized space flight in orbit, collecting the waste? And the driver? * Increases hand *
@ LuthierGodJ’ai play these games like crazy:) I would be in the canyon and then the transport unit u lol
Just mount the laser on spacecraft and shoot asteroids as in, “” Galaga “game!
I say we get a B. A. N. Big *** or network.
LOLLLLLLL have a good one!
well. . . . , I
I’m a piece of space junk.
Well, – the severity may be a very powerful and desirable in the hands of man. Create a “magnet of gravity” and Catch’em now! Just watch the simulation, how many tons of satellites (potential of materials) is there? How much energy does it cost to put it there? Why is it garbage? I think it’s possible to create a kind of gravitational energy generator that could use their energy for many things.
It’s a good idea, but how do we collect rubbish? I mean they are in orbit and I have no idea how fast you are or if they are still able to collect all the debris and even less the amount of money involved in it! The shrug
Hmm – recycle on Earth, but people do not even mention that these wastes could be collected and melted into orbit (using solar energy or gravitational energy) and use it to build “the International Space Station” a lot faster and cheeper to use materials of the Earth!
Wow, what a mess!
Wow, I did not know how there was space debris!
I do not want to know. They worry about TV and Britney Spears. . They want their gadgets and I am today is no different. They want to eat, f * ck Sleap. Sometimes I think our brain is our place in the fall of our superity in animals. Animals do not fight, so do not mess do not worship a person who died 2,000 years ago. Our path is alien to this planet. We are creative Parasyte who believe in God and love drugsshots.
Presents civilization? Everywere we went on earth, space, the Moon and Mars will not leave our mess behind. I think we should not do an exploration of Mars or space or any invention that might work for a short period, but a lot of problems in the long term. As spidergoat and robots and nanotechnology, etc are like our beautiful homeplanet Parasyte. Create and homeprison BigBrother. We are not worthy of exploring the universe. they are fools and stupid. We must clarify our ****.
