How much debris flew to earth, had there something to burn and see whether it is all the people – not known .
In 2014, more than six hundred satellites that are out of order, and just pieces of the spacecraft burned up in Earth’s atmosphere, falling on its surface.
The strong cosmic rain of debris began to seriously threaten mankind . Part of the debris falling directly on the Earth and can injure people on the planet. Analysis of the situation over the past year has forced scientists to accelerate the withdrawal of the entire planet cosmic vacuum cleaners into orbit. Developers from different countries suggested 12 ways to waste debris.
How many rubbish flew to earth, had there something to burn and see whether it is all people – is unknown.
Gain falling debris on the ground was the main reason to accelerate the development, long invented devices for cleaning landfill space. At this time, there are twelve ways.
- To equip satellites additional fuel tank that will pull them further into space, or sent to the atmosphere, for cremation.
- Robotic uborschik- Kamikaze CleanSpace One – satellite with the “hand”, grabbing the chip and moving him into the layers of the atmosphere, where they both burn.
- The destruction of laser beams. Minus a cleaning – the inability to completely burn metal and alloys can cause even greater danger.
- The cloud of gas ballistic. The brainchild of company Boeing, the satellite with the gas generator will be put into orbit in the opposite direction of rotation of all the bodies and release a cloud, crashing into the garbage that will go down in the atmosphere and burn up.
- Japanese trawler space – catching garbage in original network.
- Static electricity – push out debris further into space. Garbage will be charged electrons drone GLiDer.
- Balloon – embedded in the satellite and is filled with helium, after the end of life. Thus, taking broken equipment in the depths of space.
- Robots – repairmen, they will catch the broken satellites and dismantle them for parts. Suitable for operation items will be returned to Earth or installed in other satellites.
- Space vacuum cleaner from the corporation “Energy”. Is a huge lift to the crematorium, where garbage will be collected and burned.
- Japanese electrodynamic trawl – magnetic grid will collect over metal parts during filling with debris burn up in the atmosphere. Disadvantage – collects only that magnetized.
- Harpoon with a trap – a thought came to developers Astrium. The satellite will hunt for debris and shoot it with a harpoon network, then the network will be thrown out with the rubbish to be burned in the atmosphere, and the robot-hunter will continue its cleaning.
- Tug Terminator Tether – a companion to embed the wire device. After their failure, the coil is unwound and satellite towed to the atmosphere.
In 2014, more than six hundred satellites that are out of order, and just pieces of the spacecraft burned up in Earth’s atmosphere, falling on its surface.
These data are presented to the press service of NASA to the UN Committee. This information was used in the discussion of “cleaning space junk.” Over the past 12 months ‘rain’ was more intense than usual. The reason was to increase the activity of the Sun, which made the atmosphere above. Such changes are made to share “garbage” that flew himself, and nobody touched, in low orbits, fly to Earth. Experts are sure that the total mass descended on the surface of the “Earth” garbage “is much more than the specified media 100 tons.
True, it is difficult to say how many of the” space junk “flew to the Earth without being burned during the passage through the atmosphere, impossible to understand. The only thing we can say for sure – people were not injured. Anyway, no one complained.
NASA employees claim that after such a “clean” in extraterrestrial space has become somewhat clearer. Especially strongly decreased the number of objects and fragments that are larger than 10 inches. But the total mass of the satellites that are no longer used, but simply “run” in orbit, over the past ten years has increased from 5 to 6.7 million tons.
Specialists are constantly pushing new ways to clean debris from near-Earth space. Among them you can find even exotic – until the development of special vacuum cleaners. But, at the same time, almost all agree that the best way – strictly adhere to the rules for the use of space vehicles.
In NASA is believed that the satellites that have worked in the geostationary orbit should be raised by another 200 kilometers up, in the so-called “cosmic cemetery.” This height can be called relatively safe.
But closer to the surface of the Earth orbit the situation is almost deplorable. According to the rules, machines that fly there should burn for a maximum of 25 years from the completion of the work. But, in fact, it does not happen, because their owners do not put satellites in expensive motors for maneuvering. That is – do not clean up after themselves!
