AP video \u2014 The lasting impact of space debris<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carolin Frueh is an associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics in the College of Engineering at Purdue University. In this video, she explains the problem of space debris, its impact on current and future space missions, and the importance of taking preventative measures in limiting the amount of debris left in space. Frueh says space debris consists of human-made objects, and contrary to what many people believe, there is a large amount of debris beyond our atmosphere. Frueh explains that once a rocket is launched or a satellite dies, it stays in orbit forever, as there is no mechanism to pull these objects back to Earth beyond a certain point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
