Space waste, also known as space debris or orbital debris, refers to the defunct human-made objects that orbit Earth but no longer serve any useful purpose. These objects can include old satellites, spent rocket stages, and other fragments of spacecraft. The accumulation of space waste poses a serious threat to active satellites and crewed missions in space, as even a small piece of debris traveling at high speeds can cause significant damage. Efforts are being made to track and mitigate the impact of space waste, including developing technologies to remove debris from orbit and implementing guidelines for responsible space exploration. The reality of space waste serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable practices in outer space to ensure the long-term sustainability of human activities beyond Earth.
