In 1957, the first man-made satellite, Sputnik 1, was launched into the space. This important event has brought many technological advances and important discoveries for mankind. However a new challenge to mankind has become a reality because of the more than 5,000 satellites that have been launched, a great number of them have stopped operating and remain floating uncontrollably in space and have become space debris. Debris is artificial matter floating uncontrollably in space. Among the debris floating around the Earth, are not just old satellites, but also parts that have broken off spacecraft, paint chips or tiles, gloves that astronauts have dropped - and a multitude of objects. In this paper we present and discuss the impact of artificial space debris.
