Humans have been sending space probes, satellites and general miscellaneous materials into orbit around our planet since the late 1950s. Most of these remain in orbit even now, having long served their purpose and been deactivated or else damaged beyond repair. As a result the space around the planet - the Low Earth Orbit zone in particular - is extremely crowded and reaching saturation. Each payload we launch increases the likelihood of a collision - and potential disaster.
