Cosmonautics. "Cemetery" for satellites (2015)

The Earth's orbit is increasingly causing alarm among ballistics.

From the collision of old unguided satellites, the amount of debris in space is growing exponentially, 80% of space debris is located at an altitude of up to 3000 km.

This is a threat not only to operating satellites, but also to the ISS crew.

Scientists talk about the need to create a special orbit, a kind of graveyard for satellites, because if you don't fight space debris, it will be impossible to go into space in 40 years.

The plot starred the head of the maneuvering group of transport ships and stations Evgeny Melnikov, cosmonaut Alexander Samokutyaev, chief specialist of TsNIIMash Tatiana Grechina, head of the laboratory of TsNIIMash Sergey Avershev, astronomer Alexander Bagrov, head of the ballistic center Igor Oleynikov.
