how can we getrid of the space debris?

Question

there are lot of debris in the space caused by frequent launches of setellites(arnd 7000)and other space missions some the size of a bus and some as small as a nail
this may cause serious damage to the astronuats in space
(even the small ones)
so how can we get rid of them ....give valid suggestions

Answer 1

Because the debris are so widely spaced out (roughly one for every 100,000 cubic miles of space in the more crowded places), spacecraft has to be guided to each one for removal. Location, trajectory planning, and guidance systems today are cost-effective, so the problem is fuel for propulsion, which will have to work for the long term, as trajectories would constantly be modified for each debris to be removed. There are several potential candidates, for fleets of long term scavenger satellites:

1) Solar power (very slow but freely available in unlimited quantities)
2) Directed power from a distribution station maintaining the fleet
3) Fusion power, using readily available 3He from the moon

Through large numbers of such scavenger satellites, and time afforded by virtually unlimited power, space debris may eventually be swept from Earth orbit.

Answer 2

This is the price that is to paid for venturing in to space that nobody owns. A combined action by the whole world needs to be taken to care of the is problem The answer to your question is help form World Government that ultimately will bear a result

Answer 3

Retrieve them and either deflect them into the atmosphere to burn up, bring them back to recycle or shoot them into deep space. Every one is tracked so it should not be a problem, locating them. Eventually the pieces are going to get sucked into the atmosphere and burn up we could ust hasten the process. The bigger stuff we are going to have to either break down or bring back.

Answer 4

Have you ever looked up lately? There is a bunch of empty up there and I seriously doubt a lost screwdriver or door off a spaceship is going to clutter space in the way your small idea might think.

Answer 5

use a high powered laser to burn off some of the objects or change there orbit in to a decaying orbit

Answer 6

either we burn them in space or bring it down to earth and think of recycling it

Answer 7

practically, and economically, there are still no valid suggestions to that problem.

Answer 8

IT WILL DEGRADE AND FALL BACK INTO EARTH ATMOSPHERE AND BURN UP OF ITS OWN ACCORD...
WITH LITTLE PEICES STRIKING EARTH'S GROUND.

WHATS GOES UP--COMES DOWN...
