Ahmed Zabana Secondary School – Zahana Academic Year: 2022 – 2023 Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very
3rd Year S.T.M / G.E English Class Mr. Nouairi Omar high speeds, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or
Before You Read become dangerous to people, particularly astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk

crashed into a spacecraft, it could damage the vehicle. That's because the faster an
object moves, the greater the impact if the object collides with something else.
To make things clear, when two objects in space collide, the two objects break
into many smaller pieces. This happened in 2009 when a working United States
satellite collided with a Russian satellite that was no longer functioning. The
collision caused the satellites to break into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the
items of space junk.
To help minimize additional space junk, countries around the world have
agreed to limit the time their space tools stay in orbit to 25 years. Each tool must be
built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere, or the mass of gases that surround
the earth, after that. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
"In our opinion the problem is very challenging, and it's quite urgent as well,"
said Marco Castronuovo, an Italian Space Agency researcher who is working to
solve the problem. One reason that it's urgent is that countries are sending more
and more objects into space. Many of these objects are tools that help people use
their cell phones or computers. "The time to act is now; as we go farther in time, we
will need to remove more and more fragments," he says.
