The United States has warned that seven astronauts in danger could be killed by Russia’s missiles to destroy satellites orbiting space.
The International Space Station is flying at an altitude of 420 km above the ground. More than 7,500 satellites sent by nations around the world for information technology and meteorology orbit the region.
The satellites will remain there even if they expire. Russia is launching missiles to destroy its inactive satellites.
The United States, on the other hand, has blamed Russia’s actions for increasing space debris.
In this case, the United States has accused Russia of currently dumping debris from orbiting its satellites around the space center.
US State Department spokesman Ned Price has condemned Russia’s actions as “irresponsible and risky.”
The International Space Station currently has 4 Americans, one German scientist and 2 Russian scientists. The United States has now warned them not to leave.
The United States has said more than 500,000 visible debris and innumerable small debris are floating in space, a warning to all nations.
