PW-SAT2. Another satellite from WUT
Opublikowano: 08/10/2015 2:34 pm
Since 1957 humanity has sent over 6,000 objects into Earth's orbit. Moreover, it is estimated that there are about 3,600 satellites in orbit, although only around a third of them are operational. Until now approximately 25,000 objects of a diameter larger than 5 cm have been catalogued. The estimated number of pieces of debris smaller than 1 cm reaches 300,000. These numbers cover rocket bodies, inoperative satellites and many different objects which may originate from satellite collisions. This is called space debris or space junk, and may sometimes be a menace to the International Space Station or other satellite systems. It is worth remembering that, despite their small size, they move with velocities reaching 36,000 km/h and may cause damage worth billions of dollars.
