Space junk is alarming experts – what's next for our orbits?
Low Earth orbit is getting crowded. A new study warns about this growing danger. It shows many satellites are now in this busy space.
This is a serious problem we can't ignore. Many more satellites are planned for launch. This could make orbital debris much worse.
Experts are worried about potential collisions. One collision could create thousands of new pieces of space junk. This junk travels very fast.
Efforts are underway to clean up space. Guidelines exist for orbital debris mitigation. But is it enough to prevent future disasters?
The future of space exploration depends on keeping orbits clean. International cooperation will be key to finding lasting solutions.
