can damage satellites and other spacecraft in low-Earth orbit. The idea is to outfit future satellites, such as those vital for communication systems, with technology to avoid space debris collisions.

The average piece of space junk reaches speeds of 18,000 mph (29,000 km/h), or almost seven times faster than a bullet, according to NASA. Even a chip of paint can cause irreparable damage at ...

One of the primary dangers of space junk is the increased risk of collisions with operational satellites. Even a tiny object, such as a paint fleck, can cause serious damage when traveling at high ...

but a chip that flies into a spacecraft at 17,500 mph can severely damage or even destroy the vessel. It's happened to satellites, and many objects have run afoul of an errant piece of space junk.
