Garbage dump, the orbit


Impresión de desechos espaciales (Crédito: NASA)
In the space close to our planet there are many humans remains. We can find many satellites. But we can also see more than half a million pieces of human garbage as big as a marble. There is also more than 20,000 rests with the size of a cricket ball. But the most worrisome are the tiny pieces that cannot be detected, but that go faster than a bullet. For that the space agencies must create a method to eliminate these threats. The ESA (European Space Agency) has create a new satellite that can destroy pieces in the space. But that is only an alpha (a proof version), for that reason this machine will release its own trash simulation. Then it tries to recover the trash with four different methods. This is the road to follow for the other agencies.
