Russia tracks the movement of 15,000 cosmic objects

Russia's space monitoring center tracks 15,000 objects in the universe to prevent close access to objects in orbit.

Anatoly Nestechuk, head of Russia's center for space monitoring, said the center is monitoring about 15,000 objects in the universe.

According to him, the center's main job is to prevent close access to dangerous objects in orbit and promptly inform them of their movement direction.

Russian experts are tracking objects in the list of major space objects.

Nestechuk also noted that with the help of modern technology, it is now possible to record space objects of about 20cm size.

On June 28, six astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) had a heart attack when a cosmic debris nearly hit the ISS.

The US Aerospace Agency (NASA) said this high-speed flying object had moved toward ISS, causing the crew to climb into two Combined Rescue Ships (Soyuz) next to the shelter.

This is the flying object closest to ISS and NASA has absolutely no information about this object until it reaches very close, only about 335m from the station.
