Space Debris. Outline + Introduction + Conclusion

Outline + Introduction + Conclusion

I. The amount of space debris has increased greatly in the recent years due to the numerous launches of satellites that many space companies have made. In the mid and late twentieth century the number of launches was much lower than now, so this was not a great issue. With the spread of GPS, Internet, and mobile communications in general, this has become a major problem that governments are ignoring. Space debris is now a problem with bad consequences for our planet.

II. Risks of accidents

A.      In the space

B.      On the Earth surface

III. Contamination.

A.      Radioactive piece fall in the ocean

B.      Impacts could cause fire on forests

IV. Prevention and Solutions

                A.Research on disposable materials

                B.Space “cleaning” programmes

V. Due to the potential dangers that space debris can cause, both to the environment and people, governments must create prevention and solution plans to solve this problem and to avoid future issues related to this matter. We cannot keep ignoring space trash and its consequences.
