우주 쓰레기-허블

우주 쓰레기들이 현재 지구궤도를 뒤덮고 있는 모습. 이 컴퓨터 생성 이미지는 미국 항공우주국(NASA)이 제공. 이 이미지속의 물체들중 약 95%가 궤도상의 파편들, 즉 작동하지않는 위성들이다(AP=연합뉴스).(hcs). (paulohan@naver.com).

This computer generated image, supplied by NASA, shows objects that are currently being tracked in Earth orbit. Approximately 95% of the objects in this illustration are orbital debris, i.e., not functional satellites. The dots represent each item. The orbital debris dots are scaled according to the image size of the graphic to optimize their visibility and are not scaled to Earth. This image provide a good visualization of where the greatest orbital debris populations exist. The space shuttle Atlantis is flying at about 350 miles above Earth, an area littered with more dangerous space junk than the lower orbits where shuttles normally park at the international space station.
