Earth Space Junk Map

There are also thousands of pieces of debris floating around the earth resulting from collisions and the launch debris from the rockets which were used to launch these satellites into orbit. Now, a new tool shows just how crowded earth orbit is by tracking space objects through their close calls every couple of seconds. There are currently tens of thousands of objects, mostly rocket bodies, debris, and satellites in orbit around our planet.

More than 27,000 pieces of orbital debris, or “space junk,” are tracked by the department of defense’s global space surveillance network (ssn) sensors. The growing problem of space junk poses a risk to future space missions, but the solution isn't going to be easy. Perhaps the most surprising fact for users of this application is the large proportion of orbital objects classified as junk.

The huge pieces of space debris are large rocket bodies which have the potential to break into thousands of pieces.

According to the forecast made by satview.org, the object's reentry will occur in sunday, 19 jun 2022 at 23:27 utc, above the coordinates shown. There are also thousands of pieces of debris floating around the earth resulting from collisions and the launch debris from the rockets which were used to launch these satellites into orbit. Among them are the international space station and the hubble space telescope, but the vast majority is pieces of debris from. Earth is surrounded by around 8,000 tonnes of space junk.
