Since the mid-1950s, we have been depositing trash in the planet’s orbit, with collisions between equipment launched into space, such as rockets, satellites and other types, generating “space junk”. This situation is known as Kessler syndrome, named after the American physicist who exposed this fact.
Managing the problem of “space junk” is something that is directly related to life on our planet, considering the need to map climate change scenarios, highly dependent on the effectiveness of satellite operations, such as the agribusiness sector, not forgetting the smart cities and their demands for high connectivity.
In short, man leaves his mark of negligent exploitation, becoming his own victim, causing an impact on his activities, one of which is the generation of waste. In a time called anthropocene, a period of climate change caused by human action, we also see its effects in space, which is still little explored.
