A research finding has been announced that the flight of airplanes is getting more dangerous due to the space debris floating around the earth.

A foreign science magazine recently said that the uncontrolled re-entry of space debris into the earth’s atmosphere involves the danger of colliding with aircraft in flight and the result will be fatal, adding that the danger is getting greater as both the re-entry of space debris and the flight of aircraft increase.

Space debris comes from all objects that humans launched into outer space including artificial earth satellite and it falls into the atmosphere with the passage of time. Most of the debris burns to be minute particles.

However, as the debris of a rocket, which is used for launching a spacecraft, is large and highly resistant to heat, it may cause personal injury on the ground and in the sea and air after re-entering the atmosphere.

According to the research finding, the number of space debris pieces with a size of over 10cm floating around the earth, is estimated at about 50 000 and they will amount to millions when smaller things are added.
