What is space debris? How do we manage it? Is it dangerous? Euronews Tech Talks investigates these questions with ESA expert ...

There’s no other way to remove debris,” said study lead author Will ... There are 11,905 satellites circling Earth — 7,356 in low orbit — according to the tracking website Orbiting Now.

Any collisions that do occur can generate debris that remains in orbit for decades or centuries, increasing the chance for follow-on collisions with satellites, both old and new. "More satellites have ...

Typically, the upper atmosphere slowly pulls space debris out of Earth's lower orbit. But the cooling and contracting effect is causing less drag in the thermosphere, causing the space junk to ...
