What is Space JUNK ? Why is it dangerous?

SPACE JUNK Space junk is any derelict or unused object orbiting the Earth. They can be non working satellites, spent booster rockets, even a wrench that was dropped by an astronaut during a space walk. They can even be broken pieces from other objects colliding.

Satellites are in danger.

Speed of space Junk. Space Junk and orbital debris travels at speed of 17,000 miles per hours or 27,400 kilometers an hour !!

Collisions. Even the smallest piece of debris can cause vast amounts of damage.

Imagine this… You are driving down the highway at 170 Miles an hour.

Throw a wrench in it! A wrench falls of the back of a truck…

Terrifying Impact! The wrench hits the windshield right in front of you!

Multiply by a thousand! Now imagine the same scenario but at a thousand times the speed !

Collisions can be avoided. Collisions can be reduce and avoided with the help of computers tracking the satellites. Observational data collected from Military and Government agencies and even from passionate amateur Astronomers is entered into computers to track and prevent future collisions.
