Scientists warn of collision of tens of thousands of satellites in space
In February 2009, two satellites collided at an altitude of about 805 kilometers above Earth. An obsolete Russian military satellite and a US telecommunications spacecraft are passing through a remote area in southern Siberia Legs, but the consequences are all around the world.
The collision occurred at a top speed of 41,842 km / h, so fast that it was the steel class. Steel, like the tide of water, with the impact of the collision, created clouds of debris all over the space.
With more than 2,000 large pieces and tens of thousands of smaller pieces flying around in the air, scientists around the world Hurry to see what is at risk from the impact of the wreckage.
Here on Earth, people in Kentucky report hearing the sound of a satellite crash while you Others in Texas reported seeing flashes of light throughout the sky.
Three years later, when a small fragment of the Russian satellite passed just 119 meters from the International Space Station, six astronauts He was forced to hide in two Soyuz spacecraft until the pieces passed through the station.
Fragments from the 2009 crash will remain in space and harm for decades as long as gravity pulls them in. It was out of orbit.
With tens of thousands of new satellites being sent to space by technology companies, experts fear their owners will not check. Monitor the movement of the satellites closely to prevent collisions.
Satellites do not always fly in unchanging orbits around the earth. The change in gravity pulls all the satellites, the sun's rays, and other factors can also instantly divert the satellite. So it is very easy for them to collide,
