This and other vital services, including meteorology, climate research, telecommunications, broadcasting and navigation, depend on satellites, but their environments are becoming increasingly cramped and unsafe due to space debris.
As of January 2019, there are 34,000 debris in orbit over 10 cm in diameter, 900,000 from 1 cm to 10 cm, and 128 million from 1 mm to 1 cm.
Most of them are capable of damaging working satellites or even completely destroying them. ESA specialists are working on solving the problem of space pollution as part of the agency's activities to ensure the safety of outer space.
ESA's Clean Space project aims to prevent the accumulation of space debris in orbit and to minimize the environmental impact of space missions. In particular, it is planned to organize a mission to remove debris from orbit. Also, a special department of ESA constantly monitors more than 20,000 objects, issuing warnings and instructions for spacecraft operators.
