    • @ebigunso
      @ebigunso 5 років тому +15

      In LEO, debris are not too much of an issue since their orbits rapidly decay due to high atmospheric drag. The more problematic part is in GEO, where chunks of debris from a Chinese anti satellite missile demonstration still hangs around and will for thousands of years. It's manageable now but if we start accumulating debris in that region it will become a huge issue.

    Up to now, tracking stations could only track debris down to 10cm. But now they are building tracking stations for objects down to 2cm, the first is being built in New Zealand. So hopefully this reduces the risk of a major impact.

    • @lorditsprobingtime6668
      @lorditsprobingtime6668 5 років тому

      Getting the size down to 2 cm will definitely make things MUCH safer. I'd hate to think how damaging a 9.8cm object travelling at 20,000 kph could do. I'm fairly sure in most cases it could be patched and sealed before fatal damage to the station occurred, but it would be major panic time and could be much worse depending on what it hits. Something less than 2 cm could still be nasty, but with the right shielding shouldn't be any major problem. That's where I can picture Kevlar being very valuable between layers.

Did you note that during live feeds from the ISS that it's often faked (www.bitchute.com/video/003qjOvRNSa8/). Did you note that the time the astronaut played live with a school orchestra that everyone knows it would be physically impossible unless the astronaut was in the next room (try to sing along with someone on a phone, that's why you never see this done in international broadcasts).

    The question "how could something so tiny destroy a spacecraft" is like asking "how can this tiny bullet kill this massive elephant" it's all about it's kinetic energy.

      This effect has already been used in weapons . In tanks its used as an anti-tank shell (specifically designed to destroy other tanks) . It is known as a depleted Uranium shell, more commonly called a "DART", this is cos it doesnt use explosives instead a dupleted uranium "DART" is fired at around 5x the speed of sound , when it hits the target the metal rod or "Dart" turns white hot and burns its way thru the armour and when it gets into the tank cabin it is now so HOT that the air inside the tank turns into a superhot plasma (the air ignites), this causes a pressure wave that blows the tank apart from the inside, whole tank turrets can be blown off the tank into the air , lets not say anything about the tank crew except to mention that it would happen so quick that they never saw, heard or felt anything when death occured . So space debris paved the way for a new way for humans to kill each other !!!!

    One thing that is never mentioned is that a lot of the debris is traveling in same direction as spacecraft. The actual impact speed is very low. Many graphics show debris circling the Earth in many different directions. Much of the debris is concentrated in several regions. Most satellites travel West to East. Most of the debris is also moving from West to East. The higher the orbit, the higher the velocity, but the difference in velocity is still low.

    If space is that polluted already, there should be an international regulation on how many space objects that are allowed into space, and strict regulations on materials that will cause increased pollution. The nations contributing to this kind of space pollution should be forced to also clean up. We are protected by the atmosphere? I fear that space pollution will eventually destroy our protection. Humans are very destructive and it seems they will never learn to protect and take care of our planet and the space around it.

For all the atrocities and horrible things people have done, we (that's a collective we, I haven't done shit) have done some amazing things. Probed to other planets, the voyager satellites leaving our solar system, hubble telescope, space station, 2,000 ft tall buildings, great wall, pyramids, commercial air travel, going to the moon (which I really hope we did), the Panama canal, automobiles of all kinds, now self driving automobiles, computers, smart phones that have all of the knowledge of the entire world at your fingertips (unfortunately most people use the smart phone for dumb shit instead of for learning), taken over places like Chicago, it was all wilderness and now a city with a downtown area that once had the tallest building in the world and an urban sprawl that spreads out for miles and miles and miles. I'm from Indiana, northwest Indiana, the furthest most County north and west in the state which is Lake County. Lake County, and two to the east, Porter and Laporte counties which Laporte ends roughly 30-40 miles from the Illinois boarder yet we are considered part of Chicagoland! We have Chicago weather, Chicago news, Chicago TV broadcasting, even Chicago time. If you clear the treeline you can see downtown on a clear day. That is just one direction. It goes REALLY far north and west. NONE of it was here before. To create the highway system, to make submarines that have nuclear weapons on them, just the atom bomb and its later iterations is incredible! Yes, very deadly and destructive but who would have ever thought 200 years ago that a tiny little thing called an atom that they didn't even know about back then (at least I don't think they did) that you could split this microscopic atom and create a weapon out of it that could destroy the entire planet and all life on it. Though deadly and dangerous its still an engineering marvel. The Golden Gate Bridge, the bridges in New York, even the Holland tunnel! To dog a tunnel under ground under water. Impressive! People have done some amazing things.

    Just don't forget that in orbit all objects move with the same orbital velocity. That makes their relative velocity equal to zero, so the risk of such impacts may not really be that high unless something, say, blows to pieces. Even then though, the debris flying in the opposite direction will have insufficient velocity to stay in the orbit. People get jittery when they hear about plans for a 40 thousand satellite constellation (Spacex) but nobody explains that they will be kilometers apart from each other and at the low Earth orbit, so if things went out of control, the debris should fall to Earth. It's not risk-free but fortunately, satellites that malfunction or stop working don't just explode like in the movies.

    I was born in the 1950s, so as a kid, we all wanted to be an astronaut. How quickly we have polluted such a vast area that was empty for so long. I watched a much longer video about this problem, and some short-sighted actions have made this many times more dangerous. Blowing up old satellites, thus producing hundreds of thousands of these tiny, but deadly, projectiles has to rate as some of the dumbest mistakes man has ever made. A tiny flake of paint is all that's needed to cause serious damage to the ISS and satellites, and there is no way to track something that small. The ISS has taken several hits already, with some that would have been nuch more serious if they hit inches one way or the other. Also, future launches of long-range expeditions have to make it through these orbits. A lot of the outdated satellites can be tracked, allowing adjustments to be made to avoid a collision. Also, they eventually burn up as they fall back into our atmosphere. But, these tiny "bullets" remain in orbit and cannot be tracked. At some point the international community has to develop some type of way to clean this up, but how do you "sweep up" countless tiny pieces of metal, plastic, paint, etc? Perhaps some type of larger "blankets" that stay in the same orbits as the ISS and important satellites. Space "kites" have already been developed, so perhaps larger unfolding protection shields could be deployed ahead of, and in the same orbit to catch and clean a path. This problem is only getting more dangerous, so it must be addressed in a more urgent matter.

    Having learned the formula to get kinetic energy, I decided to calculate the energy of random objects at random speeds for fun.
    An inflated balloon (5g) going at 54m/s (speed of falling skydiver) would hit with the energy of 7J. I think that's like having 10 apples fall on you from a little above your head. That same balloon going at 8,000m/s (speed of ISS) would hit with the energy of 160kJ -- roughly the power in a car at 60MPH. Damn.
    A 100kg object (roughly the weight of one of 1,500 space debris around Earth) going at 8,000m/s would hit with 3.2tJ or about the amount of energy in 1 ton of TNT. Honestly, that's less than I thought it would be.

  • @healthdios
    @healthdios 5 років тому +2

    The speed at what debris travels out there is the same as the final stage the spacecraft was moving at the time those pieces were released into orbit.
    The reason for the high speed is the strength gravity is applying to pull anything back to earth, this is because we need to have our instruments high above earth but not to far that will make it difficult to perform any experiments in space.
    The further from earth a spacecraft is, the least speed will be need to stay in orbit. I suspect eventually we'll see more space missions at a longer distance from earth when lower orbit levels become saturated with junk, which also will require less speed to remain in orbit. And that hopefully will make it safer for astronauts out there since their orbit speed will be slower .
    From the beginning of space exploration, every single mission from any country or agency have left huge amounts of debris flying out there indiscriminately for the next mission to worry about. That's just the plain and simple reason for this problem.

    @noctisumbra2749 5 років тому

    I could be partially wrong but the heat of impact should only be large enough to melt or vaporize material at the immediate impact zone. The vast majority of the material spraying into the air and what creates the crater in hypervelocity impacts is the pressure wave.
    Upon impact the pressure wave creates compression stress that exceeds the materials strength resulting in it liquifing and the energy being spent heating up the material and throwing it out ejecta.
    On the back side of the impact zone the pressure wave bounces off the edge of the material creating strain stresses that exceed the material's capabilities causing fracturing and spalling.
    It's all very similar to how modern tank guns work where the penetration is a fluid dynamics equation hence the use of very heavy metals in both rods and armor.
