Effective way to deal with cosmic garbage

Scientists at the University of Glasgow (Scotland) said they have found an effective way to deal with the landfill on Earth orbit increasingly bulging.

The exploration and exploitation of space has left millions of pieces of space around the Earth, and experts have been constantly warning about the risk of collisions between them and satellites and spacecraft.

Space garbage

'Only after 55 years since Sputnik, the first artificial satellite, was sent into orbit, we humans really confuse the space around the planet' , page Phys.Org quoted the researcher. Patrick Harkness said.

Scottish researchers have supported the development of the Aeoldos system, to ensure that devices sent into space in the future can be removed from orbit at the end of their operation cycle.

Aeoldos is a lightweight, lightweight 'win' , which can be added to small satellites before being launched into Earth's low orbit.

When the mission-ending satellite, win-win - made from thin film, supported by flexible struts (can be stretched out like a tape) - will create a dynamic pull down the gas The fragile upper layer, which still exists in the space near the Earth.

When pulled back into the atmosphere, the satellite will burn after falling back to the ground.
