"Gabbard Diagram for Low Earth Orbit 1959-2021"
See how the stuff in the lower left corner speeds up towards the lower left corner? That's low flying debris falling out of space.
- wpietri 4y agoI am generally allergic to video, but that was fascinating to watch. Thanks for sharing it.
- ericbarrett 4y agoEverybody interested in the topic should watch this video (it's just an animated graph, no music). You will get a better intuition for the lifetime of orbital debris, and the impact of various incidents, in a few minutes than in hours of reading.
