Space Debris "space junk"
Sydney Williams
What is Space Junk
Space junk is a Natural or man made object
The objects floats around Earth
How to track them
There is a satellite catalog that orbits the earth detecting space debris. NASA and DoD share the responsibilities for characterizing the satellite. It needs to be bigger than four inches to detect it. There are over 15,000 officially cataloged objects still in orbit.
How to clean it up
When people go up to space they can pick some stuff up. They can make a special space junk remover. They can also make a space based laser system when any space debris floats by it the space debris can get fired at.
