The amount of space debris in Earth's orbit and on the moon will increase, but no one is responsible for its removal

As the number of spacecraft flying to the moon increases, people here on Earth will have to think about what happens to all the landings and debris left on the lunar surface and in orbit. The problem: private companies are excluded from the UN Space Treaty

Virgin Galactic space flight 02 landed safely, consisting of four women and only two men

  • No comments
One of the space tourists is Kisha Shaf, who is married to an Israeli and wears the Israeli flag. In addition, her 18-year-old daughter Anastasia Myers flew - the first combination of mother and daughter on a space flight. During the flight, the Unity spacecraft reached an altitude of 88 km and the passengers felt a few minutes of low gravity

Astroscale: Spacecraft and satellite manufacturers should commit to a significant reduction in the number of abandoned objects in space

  • One response
Satellite manufacturers, spacecraft operators, and the like, should receive specific and verifiable commitments to limit the number of objects in space in practice, and not just the predicted number of abandoned objects they produce during their activity, and to include in the planning the waste disposal at the end of the vessel's life

A new study reveals: the proliferation of satellites and space debris around the Earth is harming space exploration

  • One response
A new study published in the journal Nature Astronomy. According to the study, the fact that satellites have become smaller and cheaper allows more and more commercial companies and government agencies to send satellites into space, a situation that has led to a dramatic increase in the number of satellites in orbit as well as space junk
