Old #Soviet #satellite breaks apart in #orbit after space debris collision...
https://www.space.com/soviet-satellite-breaks-apart-after-debris-strike
The problem is that even a #space junk fragment as small as 0.4 inches can cause serious damage. In 2016, a #SpaceDebris fragment only a few millimeters wide punched a 16-inch (40 cm) wide hole into one of the solar panels of Europe's Earth-observing satellite #Sentinel2.

Yo dawg, I heard you like space debris, so I put space debris in your space debris so you can clean up space debris while you clean up space debris. :( #space #spaceDebris #littering https://www.universetoday.com/162885/the-irony-clearspace-1-couldnt-clean-up-space-debris-because-its-target-already-got-hit-by-space-debris-creating-even-more-space-debris/

A piece of space junk being monitored by the European Space Agency as part of a mission to remove space junk has been hit by another piece of space junk.
The collision highlights the mounting threat of space debris, and the need to deal with it sooner rather than later.
The object is the initial target of the world’s first space debris cleanup programme, led by Swiss startup Clearspace and scheduled for 2026.

In my game, you'll get the quest to clean up this mess. What reward would you expect?

#SpaceDebris is a growing problem. Some 34,260 debris objects — including used rocket stages, old #satellites and fragments created in collisions — are currently tracked by #space surveillance networks, according to the European Space Agency (#ESA). This number is bound to grow in the coming years as more and more satellites are being launched...

1568 followers · 1345 posts · Server techhub.social📆 04 July 2022 Over the past year, #ESA’s #satellite 🛰️ constellation started dropping in the #atmosphere ten times faster than before. #SolarWind ☀️ causes an upwelling of the atmosphere. That means that the denser air shifts upwards to higher altitudes. The denser air creates more #drag for #satellites 🛰️. One benefit of the increase in #SolarActivity is that it can help make #SpaceDebris 🗑️ descend and disintergrate in the atmosphere. https://www.independent.co.uk/space/solar-storms-satellites-drop-orbits-b2115228.html
