1000磅的空间碎片在肯尼亚坠毁,引起对空间垃圾安全的关切。 A 1,000-pound piece of space debris crashed in Kenya, raising concerns about space junk safety. 水牛大学教授John Crassidis指出,虽然许多空间物体的设计是为了在重返大气层时解体,但发射次数和卫星数量不断增加导致空间碎片增多。 John Crassidis, a professor at the University of Buffalo, notes that while many space objects are designed to disintegrate on re-entry, the increasing number of launches and satellites has led to more space debris. 没有关于空间垃圾的现代条约,只有大于垒球的物体才被跟踪,对空间和地球都构成风险。 There are no modern treaties on space junk, and only objects larger than a softball are tracked, posing risks for both space and Earth.
