Video ItemCategory: research Will space junk ever fall back to Earth? , video
On this episode of Engineering Explains… What is space junk or space debris? Is it dangerous? What is the future of space junk? Does space junk or debris eventually come back to earth? Are we collecting, tracking, or removing space junk? Samantha Parry Kenyon shares her expertise on space instrumentation and space debris. With a number of organizations and companies planning on launching large amounts of satellite systems, the amount of real estate inside of low-Earth orbit is called into question. By designing satellites with the intent of burning up in the atmosphere during the end of their life cycle, we can create a safer, cleaner area around Earth's atmosphere. Curious about space?
