A Russian missile crashed, leaving behind 65 pieces of space debris


A Russian rocket crash that was used to launch a scientific satellite into space after nine years in orbit, leaving dozens of pieces of space debris around the Earth, as the Fregat-SB is a type of space locomotive, which left its upper stage floating after it helped deliver the Spektr- R in 2011, according to the Russian Space Agency Roscosmos.
According to the British "Daily Mail" website, Spektr-R is a wireless telescope launched by the Russian Space Agency, but it stopped responding to ground control last year, and declared his death in May 2019.
Roscosmos confirmed that the missile crash occurred on May 8 between 06:00 and 07:00 GMT somewhere over the Indian Ocean / and the Russian Space Agency is studying data to find out how many parts it has disintegrated and where it is currently orbiting the planet.
The US18 Space Control Squadron, which tracks all objects in Earth's orbit, says there are at least 65 pieces of the rocket in orbit.
US18 wrote on Twitter: "The disintegration of the FREGAT DEB was confirmed on May 8, 2020, between 0402 and 0551 UTC, and tracking 65 associated pieces - no indication of a collision."
Space debris has become a major problem for agencies and gets worse every time something new is launched into orbit where there is always something behind, in which case the upper stage of the missile was used to launch a space telescope.
Parts of the launch vehicles are a major contributor to the problem of space chaos, as the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics says it contributes to space debris when it does not have enough power to get rid of its orbit.
Orbiting the orbit will allow the parts of the rocket to retract through the Earth's atmosphere as they will burn and be destroyed before reaching Earth, and space objects such as the upper stage of the missile are often destroyed by collision with another object in orbit, for example, when two large satellites collide, producing hundreds of parts Small instead of two big things.
At the speeds at which these fragments revolve around the Earth, they pose a serious threat to satellites, spacecraft and even humans aboard the International Space Station
