Universe garbage weighs more than 6 tons about to fall to earth

A broken satellite from the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) is about to fall to Earth and many fear its debris could endanger neighborhoods.

Discovery reports NASA's Planetary Satellite (UARS) will fall from its orbit in late September or early October. The satellite, which has a mass of 6 tons, was taken by a shuttle went into orbit in September 1991 to measure ozone and other chemicals in the earth's atmosphere. Its mission ended in 2005.

UARS then became one of more than 20,000 pieces of cosmic trash that the US Air Force monitored. In fact, with a trunk diameter of about 4.5m and a mass of 5.850kg, it is one of the largest cosmic garbage near the earth.

'Although UARS will break into pieces when plunging into the earth, some pieces will not burn out in the atmosphere,' NASA announced.

NASA emphasized that the pieces of cosmic trash have fallen back to Earth since the era of the universe began half a century ago, but no evidence has been found to show that they cause casualties to people or damage. asset.

"It's too early to say exactly when UARS will fall and which region will be affected," NASA said.

The US National Institute of Science warns that the amount of cosmic garbage around the earth has reached a dangerous level and they can destroy artificial satellites and spacecraft at any time.

Cosmic trash is an inactive spacecraft, old artificial satellites, used missiles or debris from artificial satellite collisions. They fly around the earth at speeds of up to 28,163km / h. At that rate, a tiny piece of trash could also damage the spacecraft.
