Space Debris Threatens Earth Orbit, Prompting Concerns After Chinese Spacecraft Incident

Earth's orbit faces increasing threats from nearly 130 million pieces of human-made space debris. This growing problem, exacerbated by fragments from rocket stages, satellites, and anti-satellite tests, heightens collision risks and the potential for Kessler syndrome. A recent incident saw Chinese astronauts delay their Shenzhou-20 return due to cracks in their spacecraft's window, attributed to space debris impacts, highlighting the urgent need for effective debris management solutions.
