Abstract

Space debris is the topic of this chapter. It will be realized that space debris poses real threats to the Earth. Similarly, there are risks in space resulting from these discarded and unwanted space objects. Space debris poses a substantial risk to the International Space Station and to spacecraft in space. Space debris is a rising concern, and such material constitutes a growing threat. A disaster will inevitably result from space debris. Space debris was quantified, and the volume of space debris material was shown to be increasing.
