Limiting future collision risk to spacecraft : an assessment of NASA's meteoroid and orbital debris programs /

"Derelict satellites, equipment and other debris orbiting Earth (aka space junk) have been accumulating for many decades and could damage or even possibly destroy satellites and human spacecraft if they collide. During the past 50 years, various National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NA...
