Morgan Stanley, a bank, projects that the space industry will grow from 350 billion in 2016 to more than 1.1 trillion by 2040. New Internet satellites will account for half this increase. For that to happen, however, three worries must be overcome. Debris (碎片) is the most familiar ...
So even a tiny screw or a fleck of paint, if it hits something, like a window on the International Space Station, it can do some serious damage, so tiny pieces of debris that we can’t even measure from the ground ca...
orbital plane.Solutions exist.One solution is to grab the satellites with problems and pull them down into the Earth's atmosphere.Another is to monitor space more closely for debris.But technology is only part of the answer.Rules are needed to deal with old satellites safely from low-Earth ...
In theory, given the vastness of space, satellite operators should have plenty of room for all these missions to fly safely without ever nearing another object. So some scientists are tackling the problem of space junk by trying to find out where all the debris is to a high degree of preci...
the deputy director of the Astronomical Institute of the University of Bern, who represents Switzerland in the IAU, said at the European Space Agency's space debris conference that the union was calling on the United Nationsto protect pristine night skyas cultural heritage against the uncontrolled ...
Satellite collisions or fragmentations generate a huge number of space debris; over time, the fragments might get dispersed, making it difficult to associate them to the configuration at break-up. In this work, we present a procedure to back-trace the debris, reconnecting them to their original...
So what can be done about mitigating the risk of collisions as the amount of debris rises? Our analysis suggests that we need solutions that consider four main categories of objects: Active satellites. These are not debris, but their growing numbers, and their poten...
