Space Garbage

Space garbage, also known as space debris or space junk, refers to discarded human-made objects in Earth's orbit. This includes defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, and fragments from collisions or explosions. Although no longer functional, they travel at high speeds, posing collision risks to operational spacecraft and satellites. Managing space debris is crucial to ensure the safety of space missions and the sustainability of space activities. Efforts are ongoing to track, remove, or mitigate the accumulation of these objects to prevent potential hazards.
