So, in July, the space station narrowly escaped a collision with a fragment of the Soviet satellite “Meteor”, who at the time were not able to replace specialists NASA.

Of these, 3,917 thousand – work and the failed satellite, 13.008 thousand – other artificial objects, including rocket stages, boosters, large fragments of space technology. According to experts, in 50-60 years, the level of clogging of near-Earth space can significantly hinder further space activities.
