  • Today, the problem of rubbish in space has become a nightmare for astronauts. The amount of debris in space has been steadily increasing for the past 20 years as more and more satellites have been placed in orbit and numerous missiles have been tested. In 2009, two working satellites collided sending tons of new space trash into orbit travelling at an incredible speed.
    This kind of event creates a vicious circle as each time debris collides, more and more waste is produced. All those involved in the conquest of space are now forced to monitor the clouds of waste constantly and to divert their working satellites in case of emergency. But many satellites have been “forgotten” and will inevitably cause collisions. Currently, all efforts to minimize or avoid this debris are inadequate and may have heavy consequences on our satellites and other activities on Earth. It’s high time we cleaned up our space mess!
    Throughout the world, engineers have been coming up with more and more inventive schemes to clear the space trash and put their inventions to the test: magnetic nets in Japan, disintegrating lasers in Australia, garbage collecting satellites in Switzerland, waste hunting vessels in Europe and gas atomizing rockets in the USA. Star wars will not happen… but the war on waste has been declared.

    I remember in 89, that my science teacher began talking about environmental disasters rising in regards to our types of pollution.
    After we covered Earth, he began talking about the trash we are creating in space. He stated that by the time we reach 2020, we will potentially have so much space trash from satalites and rockets, that they will begin blocking our view of the stars. Space junk will replace stars.
    He went much further about this problem, to include satalite collisions, and how it can take only 1 rogue satalite to set off a chain of distruction, sending us back a hundred years.
    I remember knowing that i will be in my 40's when this will take place. Even though we haven't reached that point yet, knowing what we know now, then adding Star-Link, we are swiftly coming to that point.
    We have pooed all over Earth, and thats our own doing; but knowing that we are doing it in space too just makes me nauseous!

    Given the quantity up there, and the probable value of those materials now, you’d think someone would have developed a recovery operation. Who owns the parts in space? Is it international waters and those salvage rules apply?

    For the objects that can be tracked a mid altitude orbital laser platform or platforms of a few kilowatts in power could be used to move debris. Picosecond bursts like that which removes tattoos could be used to shoot a bit of debris, oblate a bit of the surface which acts like a little thruster to push it into the atmosphere. There'd need to be cooperation between all the space agencies with the understanding that it would not be used on any active space.based infrastructure. The politics would be the major challenge, the laser, targeting, and power are relatively easy

      Regarding Spheres in Space🌍 and Comets: The on screen CGI showing spherical ball🌝🌍⚽objects (w/no specular highlights!) floating in "Space" is pure nonsense. Our Sun and Moon are local ionizing gas plasma luminaries, travelling within the Tropics. Earth is a fixed level Plane of existence made of fossilized, mineralized biology of mainly ancient mega titanic Dragons🐉some thousands of miles long, turned to limestone and granite🗻mountains. The term is nucleophilic substitution, flesh to stone. The 38 Transition Metals (Periodic Table) we use today literally came from these Titans veins, and arteries. The mega titanic fish 🐟🐠🐡give us most of the (SiO2) Silicon Dioxide, and (Si) Silica Dessert sands, exactly like the Sahara (titan fish) desert ! You still here ? 💫 lol. Space "rocks" e.g. Asteroids, Meteors (meat🥩) and of course Comets, are the tough fossil remains of these titans (mostly dragons🐉🐲). The Void of space and level Earth was called the "Raqia" in ancient Hebrew (Latin-Firmament), and "the Expanse" is so massive we get Hyperbolic, and Interstellar (now) Comets. Due to Magnetic Force, when these massive transition metal (conductive) laden space fossils get near the Earth's EMF, the Anode is discharging electrons into the "Comet" nucleus and taking protons from it. The Comet is now a hot cathode from a cold state (far away) and Sublimation-Phase Transition (from solid to gaseous state) is causing it to discharge carbonaceous dust and microbes etc. by the hundreds of Tons an hour as a Type2 Comet, e.g. science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/19apr_isonids above Earth. The 3600 yrs. ago Thera Eruption marked last cycle of energetic Comets, and it was called the "Shar" in ancient Sumerian, the "Completion of the Circuit". The electrical Shar is likely an intentionally induced 👽Cosmic Cycle, which adds raw material etc. (Proton Density, Radial Velocity) to the outer magnetic field of the Toroidal Vortex EMF above the level Earth, as it weakens over time. The "Solar Wind" is actually the measured strength of the EMF Torus (AKA magneto/heliopause) without it, the harmful ionizing UVC radiation from the Void above would make life on Earth impossible. The last Passover 3600 years ago (Thera/Minoan eruption) was obviously much, much worse. I figured this out, at far less than NASA $26 Billion a Year budget. 😎 I want a raise, dammit. lol 💲

      @@TheDwightMamba you do understand that this system won't have someone sitting in it, aiming the laser like Marvin the Martian. I was thinking more along the lines of using these new fangled devices called computers. The various space agencies could load this platforms "computer" with radar identified targets, providing orbital details of the debris. We could give the "computer" radar, lidar, optical target acquisition capabilities along with some form of object recognition to tell debris from not debris. And if you're not aware computers are very much faster than humans are and while orbital speeds are stupid fast, a lasers beam moves at the speed of light. Light speed is far stupider in terms of speed in fact its the stupidest.
      Oh and here you go dumb ass, back in the 80s a human pilot flying an F15 demonstrated that the US could kill a satellite by flying way up high and launching a missile that flew the rest of the way and blew up that satellite which was moving at orbital speed. Think before you talk, comment, or whatever. Do a little homework, and maybe ask yourself "is this going to make me sound like a fucking moron?" How lazy do you have to be to have what you commented pop up in your head and then with libraries of info literally at your fingertips, just decide Nah I smart good, and I'm gonna put this guy in his place. End of the day none of this shit matters, I'm not a billionaire so I can't build this thing, but now I'm aware of one more half-wit running around out there so thanks for that.

    What doesn't make sense is that these pieces don't fall back to earth after being slowed down by the collisions. There can't be any added velocity, only less. It must be that high-earth collisions result in long term debris whereas low-earth collisions do result in re-entry of debris.

      I distinctly remember posting the comment about the query if frank did in fact cheat the devil, or if he was just tricked into thinking he did.
      And that you were the proud owner of a real poncho, not a sears one.
      Deleted comments are deleted.
      Pretty sure it was the double bluff trick. Humans are smart, but nothing to true intelligence.
      Just don't have access to the computing power. We could though.
      And it seems we won't.
      Be good. The end soon comes for us. We have all failed, and have been tricked.

      It's a good point don't want to create a positive feedback loop. That makes it worst! Good thing is there is a lot of space in the space around earth. This is just a total wild guess without doing any real calculation but they're is in that space about 20 or more Earth's surface sized spaces.
      So, if you lived on a planet that was 20 times bigger than Earth and you were looking for a million pieces of debris, most of them small, some of them is small as a half inch. How long do you think it would take before you find even one piece? A while, it is a lot of space we use around earth for sattlites.

    Heres an idea. Giant Space Laser. Put into very high orbit a sattelite which is meant to last a long time and is serviceable. It might have a very large solar reflector which channels solar radiation into a hyper focused beam, one which is capable of hitting debris hundreds of miles away. If it were not capable of turning the side of debris into a plasma then a higher frequency laser might have to be used from the satellites power plant. But i would like to think the plasma created would act as a brake on the debris lowering its orbit, though it could probably just turn everything into a bigger mess, breaking things up into smaller pieces from thermal stress.

    Good summary, seems a little reluctant to mention US space junk, like the copper needle cloud, but better than nothing, Given that a tiny flake of paint can cause as much damage as a rifle bullet this is something people do need to worry about. To stand at the window, look up at the stars and say 'Sorry son, non of that will ever be yours because we got greedy' is a sad prospect. It will also be inconvenient if we spot a thousand ton rock hurtling toward us that we cannot then do anything about.

  • @rikdavis1sq
    @rikdavis1sq 7 місяців тому +1

    Not discrediting how bad the Kepler Syndrome truly is, but the one thing that's not being pointed out is that when two objects collide in orbit, they both are already moving at orbital velocities. What this means is that although there will be a slew of free floating debris circling the earth, it will be moving at that same orbital velocity +/- the offset due to collision transference of kinetic energy. So, yes...that debris is certainly not good...but objects entering orbit will also need to accelerate to those same velocities to begin stable orbital paths. If a piece of debris were to strike the ISS, unless it is moving in a counter orbital vector, it could cause damage from a bolt hitting the fuselage or solar panels at a hundred or so mph...but definitely not at 17,500 mph. Just wanted to call that out.

    It is essential to present this problem from a statistical POV.
    How many satellites haven't disintegrated since 1957?
    How many are stray?
    "Many times they don't fully disintegrate" is not data.
    There are currently 7.000 active satellites in orbit. There were 750 25 years ago. Say 1.000 have fallen stranded, plus 3.000 pieces forming debree from crasing among themselves. That'd add 11.000 objects floating out there.
    Earth's surface area is 500M sq km. Imagine 11 thousand people trying to meet while traveling @ 14k mph. What are the chances? How about on an area of 9 BN sq km? That's the area in which comm satellites orbit. What are the real chances?
