  New Delhi (Sputnik) Aug 23, 2019 In its latest assessment on debris in space published in Orbital Debris Quarterly News, NASA claimed there are 101 pieces of debris big enough to be tracked, of which 49 pieces remain in orbit as of 15 July. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States has revealed in a report that debris from India's anti-satellite test on 27 March is still floating in space. The NASA report, however, said most of the debris created by the 27 March test seemed to have disint ... read more |
