Space junk is not really a discovery. Humans put it there. We've got large quantities of junk orbiting our planet because we don't pick up after ourselves. It's not really any more of a discovery than litter is. There's no Christopher Columbus of litter, and that's basically what space junk is. So I can't really tell you who.
What else can I help you with?
Is Saturn Space Junk?
No. Space junk consists of fragments of spacecraft left in space. Saturn is a planet.
Can space junk create a blackhole?
No, space junk cannot create a black hole. Black holes are formed through the gravitational collapse of massive stars, not by random objects floating in space. Space junk can, however, pose dangers to spacecraft and satellites in orbit.
Are there laws to control space junk?
No. Some Guidelines, yes. But it has not to my attention, that anyone sought legal action, based on the illegal disposal of space junk.
If there is no oxygen in outer space what is there?
Space junk, stars, planets and no vacums Nij ok???
What is the effect of space junk now and in the future?
Space junk, in others words is trash floating around our Earth caught in a circular orbit. Space junk has caused problems and I will happily list a few for the answer. For one, if it is biggest enough sometimes it will fall back to the Earth and unlike most things, not burn up in the atmosphere and come crashing to Earth which itself poses dangers. Another is moving space junk can become problems to space stations. Damage, severe or little can be caused by junk ramming into the station. More problems it poses by space shuttles can, sometimes, hit space junk which you can figure is a problem. More or less Space Junk in other words is pollution in space.
Who first discovered space junk?
Space junk was first discovered in 1957 by the U.S. military tracking systems. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, which left debris in orbit around Earth, leading to the realization of space junk.
How does space junk in to space?
"Space Junk" gets into space because of us leaving materials behind when we visit space.
Is Saturn Space Junk?
No. Space junk consists of fragments of spacecraft left in space. Saturn is a planet.
Why does space junk form?
Because satellites are blown up, forming debris, which is called space junk
How does space junk get in space?
Space junk is usually the result of human-made objects that are no longer operational or have been discarded in space. This includes defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, fragments from collisions, and debris from missions. Over time, these objects can collide with each other, creating more debris and increasing the amount of space junk in orbit.
Does space junk interact with asteroids?
This would happen, space junk could collide with asteroids, but most space junk is close to the earth, away from the main asteroid belt. It would be more likely to collide with meteroids and other bits of space junk.
How are space junk dispose in space?
it was disposed in space by arcrafts
How are space junk disposed in space?
it was disposed in space by arcrafts
Is space junk real?
Yes, space junk is real. It consists of defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, and other debris left in orbit around Earth. This space debris poses a risk to active satellites and spacecraft in orbit.
What are other dangers in outer space?
well i think they would mostly be space junk check this out its the earth http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/space-junk-4.jpg and all that white stuff is space junk orbiting earth.
What does space junk refer to?
Scraps from Space ships in outer space
Where does space junk come from?
Space junk comes from defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, and debris from spacecraft collisions or explosions. Over time, these objects break apart and create smaller fragments that continue to orbit Earth. The accumulation of space junk poses a threat to operational satellites and space missions in Earth's orbit.
