- Since the beginning of spaceflight, over 9,000 satellites have been launched into orbit. Along with every satellite, there is around 100,000 tonnes of space debris, most of which is too small for us to track. This video looks at the powerful physics behind space collisions and the different methods that are used to shield the International Space Station.

Yup if you believe this crap you should learn New false stories about space.

It's mind boggling to think of the countless untrackable space debris. I wonder how much maintenance the ISS gets in regards to space debris care. Great video as always.
In LEO, debris are not too much of an issue since their orbits rapidly decay due to high atmospheric drag. The more problematic part is in GEO, where chunks of debris from a Chinese anti satellite missile demonstration still hangs around and will for thousands of years. It's manageable now but if we start accumulating debris in that region it will become a huge issue.
@ebigunso a cleaning craft needs to be sent to catch the chinese missile junk.
@@illuminate4622 It's more realistic to shoot ground based laser beams on them, evaporating parts of it to create thrust for deorbiting. If only we could track those small debris...

What if a particle hits the astronaut when he is out of ISS?
He ded.
Kamran Bashir That’s a good question
you watched the video showing what happens when a 7 gram object hits a block of aluminum. Aluminum is one of the weakest metals but still exponentially stronger than human skin.
We have to really clean up this fucking disgusting space trash before it kills someone.
@aboctok a block of aluminum is A LOT stronger than human skin.
Thank you for this video, currently writing an research paper on this for my ap class
When you write your research paper, did you note the hole pictured was on an album cover released years before? Did you note the temperature of the layer of air then compare to the temperature of the materials used to build. Did you note there's no video of the station being out together? Did you note that during live feeds from the ISS that it's often faked (www.bitchute.com/video/003qjOvRNSa8/). Did you note that the time the astronaut played live with a school orchestra that everyone knows it would be physically impossible unless the astronaut was in the next room (try to sing along with someone on a phone, that's why you never see this done in international broadcasts).

Your voice sounds like a text to speech engine from the future
The question "how could something so tiny destroy a spacecraft" is like asking "how can this tiny bullet kill this massive elephant" it's all about it's kinetic energy. I love ballistics because of how fast moving objects react so differently than slow moving objects when they collide. and space debris are like bullets that are a thousand times more powerful

Very informative video...
That light gas gun is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Such an ingenious way of overcoming the limits of traditional propellant fired projectiles.
A good film I know named “Gravity” this film is about the astronauts fixing the Hubble telescope and a news coming to astronauts from Houston...a Russian rocket hits to the space debris and that makes a lot of destruction...that debris is moving to the astronauts and they try to survive. That’s a great film you must watch if you want
Just a minor nitpick. 1:15 The narration and subtitles say "point 8 millijoules of energy", but the video displays "0.008 J", which is 8 millijoules. It doesn't affect the real point -- it's just a trivial discrepancy that I noticed.
Are you the guy from big bang theory?

It’s actually correct Einstein, multiply 1,000,000 by .008
@@dirtworm666 You're wrong and stupid. 0.0008 is 0.8 mJ. The displayed value in the video is 0.008 which is 8mJ. And judging by the narrator's "million times more energy" being 0.008 x 1,000,000, the video is correct and the narrator should have said 8mJ, not 0.8mJ. Either way, you're wrong.
Never knew that the debris decle-atres so quickly that its pressure increases thus melting it and sending a shockwave which cause more impact
This effect has already been used in weapons . In tanks its used as an anti-tank shell (specifically designed to destroy other tanks) . It is known as a depleted Uranium shell, more commonly called a "DART", this is cos it doesnt use explosives instead a dupleted uranium "DART" is fired at around 5x the speed of sound , when it hits the target the metal rod or "Dart" turns white hot and burns its way thru the armour and when it gets into the tank cabin it is now so HOT that the air inside the tank turns into a superhot plasma (the air ignites), this causes a pressure wave that blows the tank apart from the inside, whole tank turrets can be blown off the tank into the air , lets not say anything about the tank crew except to mention that it would happen so quick that they never saw, heard or felt anything when death occured . So space debris paved the way for a new way for humans to kill each other !!!!
RaYzOr rAyZoR
I have heard of those shells,
But I thought that it penetrates the tanks armor and reaches the crew and when it is inside the tank it explodes, liquifying the crew and destroying the tank.
Thank you for clarifying of how this shell works
the same thing happens with normal bullets too
Up to now, tracking stations could only track debris down to 10cm. But now they are building tracking stations for objects down to 2cm, the first is being built in New Zealand. So hopefully this reduces the risk of a major impact.
Getting the size down to 2 cm will definitely make things MUCH safer. I'd hate to think how damaging a 9.8cm object travelling at 20,000 kph could do. I'm fairly sure in most cases it could be patched and sealed before fatal damage to the station occurred, but it would be major panic time and could be much worse depending on what it hits. Something less than 2 cm could still be nasty, but with the right shielding shouldn't be any major problem. That's where I can picture Kevlar being very valuable between layers.
depends on the density of the object. even an object under 10mm could still be hundreds of times more powerful than a bullet of equivalent size and mass
@@exMuteKid Yeah, energy is mass by speed squared, so if it's dense enough, even a tiny object can do massive damage in a collision at orbital velocities.
4:52 wow thats another inspiration of solar system’s nature, as you begin to realize, its very very similar to gas giant ice moons so many types of them as a shield of the surface that protects the water interior

Very interesting.
1:19 not very important but you say 0.8 mJ when it says 8mJ on screen
Kyle Brown it would be 3 0's
3:39 - I laughed at the destruction I witnessed here.
I think I enjoy destruction a little too much but for safety in space, these tests are essential yet entertaining.
reggiep75 I squealed with glee at the crater I saw in that video.
I also think too that I kinda get too much joy out of the massive damage, however for all the precaution you gotta take in the weightless vacuum, these trials are necessary despite how fun they can be!
@@sidjtd Nothing wrong with a bit of destruction in the name of science. If you were ever a fan of Mythbusters you'd be familiar with a common statement by Jamie Hyneman, " Jamie want big bang", which I can very much relate to too lol.
A whipple shield is basically just glirified spaced armor. Something tanks and armored vehicles have utilized since WWII.
TheBritishJackalope: " glirified spaced armor. "
What's that? Sounds like female armour that's high on something illegal.
Tanks and armoured vehicles didn't have to deal with things travelling at even one hundredth the speed of these projectiles and had very thick steel to help deal with them so not the greatest of comparisons. I do know what you're talking about and it is more or less the same principal though.
Just don't forget that in orbit all objects move with the same orbital velocity. That makes their relative velocity equal to zero, so the risk of such impacts may not really be that high unless something, say, blows to pieces. Even then though, the debris flying in the opposite direction will have insufficient velocity to stay in the orbit. People get jittery when they hear about plans for a 40 thousand satellite constellation (Spacex) but nobody explains that they will be kilometers apart from each other and at the low Earth orbit, so if things went out of control, the debris should fall to Earth. It's not risk-free but fortunately, satellites that malfunction or stop working don't just explode like in the movies.
I remember doing a science project for how to combat space debris in middle school. Our solution was to use oobleck as it is hard enough that the debris will go into it, but then it'll stop the depris from escaping.
KK_Magic
Too heavy I reckon. But a good idea all the same.
It’s amazing the bravery of astronaughts knowing these objects are flying about 🙏🏻
Because they're not there. Or else why tweet a photo off an album cover from years earlier. Check this out www.bitchute.com/video/003qjOvRNSa8/
So that's why in science fiction they have energy shields

Thanks for your effort to adds indonesia subtitle.
I retired from a career in the rubber business...I remember a story that the military used Linatex Rubber liner in aircraft fuel cells.
It would self seal once a small caliber bullet hit the tank...interesting.
But what does it do to the object it strikes as far as its course or he rotational effect from impact ?
We need force field tech.
It’s an atmosphere that protects us everyday, yet it’s an atmosphere that we’re destroying everyday.
2:26 Sooo basically the protection acts the same way as composite armour in tanks?
the same principle is used in cables made by twisting smaller cables several into one larger one.
"ripple shield"
Oh, the shield uses hamon, ok.
The outer wall is stainless steel, and the inner wall either titanium alloy or aluminum, with a middle layer of up to 10cm of Kevlar
Which would all melt in the temperature of the layer of the atmosphere.
Shields up!
Perhaps you could make a video about what happens to body tissue if it is hit by such high-velocity particles, I can say this much; it will not simply make a hole that will heal...
Those images of all the satellites around Earth is crazy! Seen that before but man it's crazy to think we have THAT many orbiting the planet! So cool. For all the atrocities and horrible things people have done, we (that's a collective we, I haven't done shit) have done some amazing things. Probed to other planets, the voyager satellites leaving our solar system, hubble telescope, space station, 2,000 ft tall buildings, great wall, pyramids, commercial air travel, going to the moon (which I really hope we did), the Panama canal, automobiles of all kinds, now self driving automobiles, computers, smart phones that have all of the knowledge of the entire world at your fingertips (unfortunately most people use the smart phone for dumb shit instead of for learning), taken over places like Chicago, it was all wilderness and now a city with a downtown area that once had the tallest building in the world and an urban sprawl that spreads out for miles and miles and miles. I'm from Indiana, northwest Indiana, the furthest most County north and west in the state which is Lake County. Lake County, and two to the east, Porter and Laporte counties which Laporte ends roughly 30-40 miles from the Illinois boarder yet we are considered part of Chicagoland! We have Chicago weather, Chicago news, Chicago TV broadcasting, even Chicago time. If you clear the treeline you can see downtown on a clear day. That is just one direction. It goes REALLY far north and west. NONE of it was here before. To create the highway system, to make submarines that have nuclear weapons on them, just the atom bomb and its later iterations is incredible! Yes, very deadly and destructive but who would have ever thought 200 years ago that a tiny little thing called an atom that they didn't even know about back then (at least I don't think they did) that you could split this microscopic atom and create a weapon out of it that could destroy the entire planet and all life on it. Though deadly and dangerous its still an engineering marvel. The Golden Gate Bridge, the bridges in New York, even the Holland tunnel! To dog a tunnel under ground under water. Impressive! People have done some amazing things.
WHAT AN IMPACT

Has been my concern for decades. Also danger frometeor material.

While I was in college in the late 1960's and early 1970's I worked at the University of Dayton Research Institute's light gas gin. Think they paid me $1.50 or $1.60 hr (minimum wage then) but it's still the best job i ever had. Incredibly interesting and something new every day. Wish i felt up to a tour of the new facility but I can only hope for that.
The first forcefield👍
Kessler Syndrome of orbital debris for security reasons means just how casual attacks could be so one does know i external electromagnet coils, electrostatic plates, and lasers are to protect or to attack.
They create a more badass than a gun
Ideally a self repair nanite system would be capable of repairing any and all damage caused by space debris
I was born in the 1950s, so as a kid, we all wanted to be an astronaut. How quickly we have polluted such a vast area that was empty for so long. I watched a much longer video about this problem, and some short-sighted actions have made this many times more dangerous. Blowing up old satellites, thus producing hundreds of thousands of these tiny, but deadly, projectiles has to rate as some of the dumbest mistakes man has ever made. A tiny flake of paint is all that's needed to cause serious damage to the ISS and satellites, and there is no way to track something that small. The ISS has taken several hits already, with some that would have been nuch more serious if they hit inches one way or the other. Also, future launches of long-range expeditions have to make it through these orbits. A lot of the outdated satellites can be tracked, allowing adjustments to be made to avoid a collision. Also, they eventually burn up as they fall back into our atmosphere. But, these tiny "bullets" remain in orbit and cannot be tracked. At some point the international community has to develop some type of way to clean this up, but how do you "sweep up" countless tiny pieces of metal, plastic, paint, etc? Perhaps some type of larger "blankets" that stay in the same orbits as the ISS and important satellites. Space "kites" have already been developed, so perhaps larger unfolding protection shields could be deployed ahead of, and in the same orbit to catch and clean a path. This problem is only getting more dangerous, so it must be addressed in a more urgent matter.
When you hear them say 20 km per second ( almost 45000 mph ) your like s**t that's moving.
We are such fools for allowing this space debris to get so far out of hand.
Or for believing anything "space agencies" say.
As always with the environment, the consequences will be "someone else's problem".
@@Yora21 And China tested their orbiting weapon on a dead satelite and created more tiny pieces flying around up there. Fact.

The power of space Debrie , right !
Everyone automatically blames the night shift every time.
Having learned the formula to get kinetic energy, I decided to calculate the energy of random objects at random speeds for fun.
An inflated balloon (5g) going at 54m/s (speed of falling skydiver) would hit with the energy of 7J. I think that's like having 10 apples fall on you from a little above your head. That same balloon going at 8,000m/s (speed of ISS) would hit with the energy of 160kJ -- roughly the power in a car at 60MPH. Damn.
A 100kg object (roughly the weight of one of 1,500 space debris around Earth) going at 8,000m/s would hit with 3.2tJ or about the amount of energy in 1 ton of TNT. Honestly, that's less than I thought it would be.
Of course, these are just random objects and speeds. Every now and then, a 'comet shoe-maker levy' will come along to keep you on your toes.
Any word on what caused the hole in the Russian ISS module? They have been very tight lipped about it. Not long ago they announced they had a cause but did not say
One thing that is never mentioned is that a lot of the debris is traveling in same direction as spacecraft. The actual impact speed is very low. Many graphics show debris circling the Earth in many different directions. Much of the debris is concentrated in several regions. Most satellites travel West to East. Most of the debris is also moving from West to East. The higher the orbit, the higher the velocity, but the difference in velocity is still low.
I love your voice.
Now I know who records the robot voice!
Where can I buy one of these "light gas guns"?
Asking for a friend....
Tesco’s
If I could I would launch about 1,000,000 pachinko balls and spray them randomly around in orbit. It would make space travel ‘FUN”
Snowball fight in space probably suck with that kind of velocity.
If most spacecraft travel the same path at close to the same velocity to reach orbit, how much of this debris could actually be a hazard though? Simply dont know and am rather curious. Obviously they have taken damage so it means there is some degree of variation, but I'd imagine it would be in every space faring nations best interests to mitigate possible damage.
The problem is that they don’t all travel in the same path, some of the debris can go straight at the satellite and have a head on collision, others debris will indeed travel in the same direction as the satellite
Replace liquid with non-newtonion fluid in zero g so it doesnt droop (and something that survives only a couple kelvin environment)
Can we magnet the space junk or put them in the box.
Aliens and really weird stuff on FB said interstellar travel would be impossible due to the speed required against that of space moving junk. This film clip seems to confirm what this FB site said months ago through something called common sense
What abt space suit...can it with stand debris ??
To a small degree only. The chances of getting hit are very small on any EVA though.
Would be great if they could scoop up the space junk with a special satellite or space ship...

rookie question: why does the mass of the ISS even matter in the 0 gravity environment? i guess the mass concern is with regards to transporting heavier materieal from the eath to the ISS, right?
Right!
Nobody: nothing
Space debris: I am speed
Shut the fuck up.
Solution is easy: no more space trips for 100 years
*_5:13_** Thankful to **_Whom?_*
Since all objects in space orbit moving in same direction at some 15,000kph, it should have less impact than others
Why no forcefield?
The speed at what debris travels out there is the same as the final stage the spacecraft was moving at the time those pieces were released into orbit.
The reason for the high speed is the strength gravity is applying to pull anything back to earth, this is because we need to have our instruments high above earth but not to far that will make it difficult to perform any experiments in space.
The further from earth a spacecraft is, the least speed will be need to stay in orbit. I suspect eventually we'll see more space missions at a longer distance from earth when lower orbit levels become saturated with junk, which also will require less speed to remain in orbit. And that hopefully will make it safer for astronauts out there since their orbit speed will be slower .
From the beginning of space exploration, every single mission from any country or agency have left huge amounts of debris flying out there indiscriminately for the next mission to worry about. That's just the plain and simple reason for this problem.
