Space Junk Threat to Triple by 2030 →
An article in space.com presents a scary picture of the future of near-earth orbit satellites:
The buildup of debris is not a naturally reversible process. If we are to clean up space, it will certainly be complex and very expensive. If we continue, as we have, to use these very popular orbits in near-Earth space, the density of debris and collision events will surely increase.
The good news...
