Space Debris - A Journey to Earth takes the audience on a journey from the outer solar system back to our home planet. The objects encountered along the way are manmade. Originally designed to explore the universe, these are now a challenge for modern space flight. An estimated number of 700,000 objects larger than 1 cm and 170 million objects larger than 1mm are expected to reside in Earth orbits.<br /><br />The video gives a closer look at the different regions used for space flight and explains how mitigation and removal measures could preserve future usage of these orbits.<br /><br />Produced for the 7th European Conference on Space Debris, 18-21 April 2017.<br /><br />Credit: ESA/ID&Sense/ONiRiXEL, CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/igo/
