Russia developed a system to eliminate cosmic garbage
The scope of space operations is increasing. This means that space junk will become a threat to satellite devices and spacecraft, including the International Space Station (ISS), which is operating in Earth's low orbit.
The Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) intends to develop a system to remove dangerous pieces of trash in Earth's orbit.

The scope of space operations is increasing. This means that space junk will become a threat to satellite devices and spacecraft, including the International Space Station (ISS), which is operating in Earth's low orbit.
To cope with these potential dangers, Roscosmos is planning to develop a system capable of removing large pieces of cosmic trash in Earth's low orbit.
'Roscosmos decided to discover a system capable of removing dangerous pieces of waste from important areas of orbit near Earth and establishing an automated warning system for potentially dangerous situations. out around our planet ' , deputy director of Roscosmos Sergei Savelyev said during a meeting at the ILA Berlin 2012 air show in Germany.
Cosmic garbage is becoming a global problem
Sergei Savelyev also said that cosmic garbage is a global problem, so Roscosmos is willing to cooperate with the European Space Agency in both projects to eliminate space junk and a warning system of dangerous situations. in space.
The commander of the US Air Force Space Headquarters currently tracks about 22,000 man-made cosmic trash pieces, with a length of over 10cm. According to scientists, any piece of cosmic trash larger than a baseball can seriously harm the ISS station.
Last March, a piece of cosmic trash nearly collided with ISS, causing members of this space station to evacuate to a rescue ship. Similar accidents occurred in 2009 and 2011.
