Kaputnik chaos could kill Hubble: worst-ever orbital collision leads to calls for tighter regulation
A cloud of debris spreading through low Earth orbit following the collision of two satellites poses a new risk to many scientific missions and may signal the demise of the Hubble Space Telescope. NASA is monitoring the... - 10From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7232) Peer-ReviewedFront. Ecol.
