What is Hazards of Space Debris about?

Space debris (SD) has been accumulating for 64 years, since 1957 with the launch of Sputnik 1. Since then, numerous factors have added to the SD section of the United States Air Force Space Command (USAFSC) space object catalog. SD is defined as any type of space object particularly: intact, operational by-products, discarded, lost, inactive, or out of control items moving at any velocity (usually hypervelocity) at any point in outer space. These artificial SD objects include, but are not limited to, intact satellites, collision fragments, explosion particulates, aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) engine slag, titanium (Ti) particles, sodium potassium (NaK) reactor coolant, experimental copper (Cu) needles, lunar dust, and paint flecks ranging from 200 micrometers (μm) to larger than 1 meter (m). These items are more prevalent than natural meteoroids in orbit of Earth and exist anywhere in low earth orbit (LEO), Medium Earth orbit (MEO), to geosynchronous orbit H. C.
