The world urgently needs a new way to track space junk
https://qz.com/2117677/the-world-urgently-needs-a-new-way-to-track-space-junk/As of January, there were around 37,000 pieces of space trash larger than 10 cm (3.9 inches) being tracked internationally, most of them in low Earth orbit. It’s much harder to detect smaller objects, but scientists estimate there’s more than 330 million pieces smaller than 1cm.
Jah and others say more investment is urgently needed to create a more effective tracking system.
