The Russian Academy of Sciences and Roscosmos have started developing a national program for research and development of methods to counter threats from outer space.

First of all, these are asteroids, comets and fragments of space rocks, but space debris in near-Earth orbit is even more harmful to earthlings.

During the development of cosmonautics, so much of it has accumulated that the ISS often has to change orbits and dodge debris from rockets and satellites, because even a small fragment with a diameter of several millimeters can damage the skin and cause depressurization of the station.

In modern satellites, a mode of transition to a burial orbit is provided when the fuel comes to an end and the satellite soon stops working, however, this is a temporary solution to the problem.

Sooner or later, the space "graveyard" of garbage will have to be cleared and swept away.

The plot starred Sergei Naroenkov, Boris Shustov, Yuri Makarov, Alexander Samokutyaev, Alexander Bagrov.
