Space debris surveillance system, artwork. Concept for the European Space Agency's future space debris surveillance system employing ground-based optical, radar and laser technology as well as in-orbit survey instruments. Debris is a constant hazard to spacecraft and satellites. Even a small object can cause a great deal of damage at the high speeds of Earth orbits. The launch of more and more satellites has led to near-Earth space becoming increasingly crowded and every impact spreads more junk into a growing shell of debris surrounding the Earth. | |
