Space junk is a growing problem in low-Earth orbit, with over 130 million pieces of debris larger than a millimeter orbiting Earth. These impact satellites and other debris, creating even more debris, and if something isn't done, more and more damage will be done to our existing orbital infrastructure - even risk the lives of astronauts. ESA released a new plan to dramatically reduce the production of new debris in Earth and Lunar orbit, aiming for zero debris by 2030.
