High above our heads, at speeds of almost 30,000 kilometers per hour, tens of thousands of pieces of space junk are orbiting. About 30,000 larger pieces of debris are estimated to be in orbit, to be more precise. If we also count the smaller pieces that we cannot track, the number increases to hundreds of thousands of fragments.
