5 Amazing facts about space junk

Hello friends of this great community as it is steemit, this opportunity is going to show you some things that are extremely amazing is the space junk, in this post we will show you some of these things from space junk, I hope you like it and that is to your liking and that you enjoy it when you are reading it.

Since the first time a satellite was launched more than 50 years ago, we never imagined that the number of satellites and artificial objects placed in orbit would increase dramatically and currently continues to increase at a very fast speed, this to put it in a better perspective imagines that You are in a car at immense speed and without brakes then in a moment you realize that you are not the only one that there are thousands of them in the same situation, it is only a matter of time for a collision to happen, and that friends that is what what awaits us if we do not do something about it.

Move to avoid a collision

The international space station had to be moved three times in 2014 this with the ability to avoid a catastrophic collision, debris is constantly monitored from planet Earth, and changes in orbit are regularly carried out for this reason however there are cases When possible impacts are reported too late, this situation is left to the astronauts, stay in their emergency shelters and prepare for the impact.

We are trapped

If this can not be solved soon, it is predicted that in a few hundred years, the earth will be trapped in space debris, and with many space missions canceled due to the high risk of collisions and human life, there is even the possibility that a large piece of space junk enters our atmosphere without completely disintegrating becoming a meteor at full speed causing very serious damage.

Constant danger

In the house of a satellite being hit by a piece of space junk it would be severely damaged, or completely destroyed, if this kind of thing happens to a larger satellite, life on earth would undoubtedly be affected by television, internet , jps and even your mobile phone and if we go further there is a very real possibility and events that generate medical conflicts in a world that is on the defensive, with the fall of a satellite they say was confused about the attack on the defenses of a country and with the possibility of reprisals.

The ability to track objects that are much smaller will not be able to predict their movements around the planet earth, as well as direct astronauts and satellites so that they can be out of danger, although the project of the space fence will not be able to reduce the amount of waste in space, will be able to help the United States and better track what is out there is aware on a radar that is digital that tends to spread like a virtual fence around The planet, this will be able to register debris that are really small as 10 centimeters used optical sensors and wavelengths larger than what is currently used.

Each collision probably increases more than 100 times

Although there have been very few collisions so far, it is said that each of them increases the problem more than 100 times, as each impact converts two pieces previously dragged to hundreds of debris that have to be tracked again, some they are pieces so small that they are impossible to see by the system, this is the essential problem for those who want to fight against space debris, well you can move a satellite out of the way you can not do the same with this amount of debris.

I think we will eventually develop methods to clean that junk around our planet.

I would like to share with you 2 recommendations in order to improve future articles :D .It is recommended to use pictures that have no copyrights and also it would be good to leave references at the end of the article in case the reader wants to keep learning about the subject.

Cheers mate!

thanks @dedicatedguy for your advice I will take you into account. but is there something I do not understand how is it that the images have copyright? and how can you get those images that do not?
