Even in space, traffic jams, Russian satellites and Chinese rockets continued to collide

Moscow, dated 16 October 2020, Friday

Countries around the world are now launching hundreds of satellites every year. Even after their lifespan, they continue to orbit. Now it has caused a traffic jam in space as well.

This can lead to a state of emergency, such as a collision between a Russian satellite that has become useless in space and a similar Chinese rocket. But there would have been danger.

The collision was predicted a week ago by an organization that tracks debris in space. The Russian satellite Cosmos and China's Change Zheng rocket were colliding with each other. Their speed was 52,000 kilometers per hour. The other satellites would have been severely damaged if the two had collided. There are currently more than 170 million inert objects orbiting in space, which could be wrecked. .
