Astronomers Warn That Geosynchronous Orbital Debris Threatens Satellites, Not Being Monitored Closely Enough – SciTechDaily
Survey of geosynchronous orbital debris led by University of Warwick found over 75% of debris detected could not be matched to known objects in public satellite catalogs Astronomers are calling for more regular surveys with large telescopes to help quantify t…
The debris objects shown in the images are an artist’s impression based on actual density data. However, the debris objects are shown at an exaggerated size to make them visible at the scale shown. Credit: ESA
