Space debris creates many threats to other working satellites or space stations. Increasing space debris creates more space debris, and this is known as Kessler syndrome. It affects the internet, and weather monitoring system. There are more than 9,600 tonnes of objects in earth’s orbits according to European Space Agency (ESA).
