What is the chances of being killed by space debris?

The chances of being killed by space debris are extremely low. Current estimates suggest that the risk of being struck by space debris is around 1 in 1 trillion. Space agencies closely monitor and track debris to minimize the risk to satellites and spacecraft.


Does anyone keep track of the space debris?

Oh yes, NASA tracks the space debris.


Find out how when a space voyage is planned space debris has to be taken in to consideration?

When a space voyage is planned, it is important to plan for space debris because a lot of the space debris floating around can lead to accidents in future space excursions. Empty fuel canisters are a good example of space debris.


What is being done to address the problem of space junk?

Efforts to address the problem of space junk include developing technology to track and monitor debris, implementing guidelines for satellite disposal, and promoting international cooperation for debris mitigation. Additionally, organizations are working on solutions such as active debris removal to clean up the most critical debris in space.


Can you see pictures of space debris?

Yes, you will be able to see photos of space debris if you google images 'space debris'.


What happens to all the space debris and is there a danger from it?

A lot of the debris close to earth will end up coming back to the planet eventually, most of it will burn up in the atmosphere. It's not really dangerous to us on earth, but will present some danger to things in space, particularly close to the earth as more space debris accumulates.


About how many pieces of space are floating around earth?

There are millions of pieces of space debris, ranging from defunct satellites to tiny fragments, currently in orbit around Earth. These objects pose a threat to functioning satellites and spacecraft, as well as the International Space Station. Efforts are being made to track and mitigate the amount of space debris in orbit.


What is space pollution?

Space pollution is the collection of defunct objects in the space around Earth. It includes everything that can be considered debris, from old satellites, spent rocket stages and rock fragments from erosion and collision.


Does Mars have space debris?

yes unfortunately it does (google search "space debris" for more information


Is anyone cleaning space junk?

There are efforts by various space agencies and companies to address the issue of space junk through the development of technologies like debris removal missions and concepts for debris tracking and mitigation. However, there is no single entity solely responsible for cleaning up all space junk at this time.


Could a shuttle ever been hit by a meteorite?

It is theoretically possible for a space shuttle to be hit by a meteorite, but the chances are extremely low due to the vastness of space. Space agencies take precautions to minimize this risk by tracking space debris and meteoroids. Additionally, the shuttle's hull is designed to withstand impacts from small debris.


How when space voyages is planned space debris has to be taken into consideration?

When a space voyage is planned it is necessary to take the space debris into consideration because the space debris can clash to the rocket and create problems in communication, travelling etc. and make the journey difficult for the satellite
