„SPACE DEBRIS” AND ITS IMPACT ON THE SPACE ACTIVITY OF CIVILIZATION AND TNE ECOLOGY OF EARTH
Year: 2025

The consequences of large, catalogued “space debris” near Earth are well described in the literature, but the threat of small debris is often overlooked, despite the fact that they pose a serious threat. Achieving a more complete understanding of the latter (their quantity, composition, spatial distribution, dynamics and level of danger) is hampered by at least two factors: a clear underestimation of the danger of small debris and a lack of appropriate measurements, a direct consequence of the l
