Data from Space-Track.org allowed Corby-based electronic company RS Components to analyse just how many bits of debris are currently orbiting Earth and which country they belong to.
Maybe, but don’t shoot yourselves in the foot – satellites are finding polluters more than they are adding to it, according to most sources including this in the WSJ.
Who Are the World’s Biggest Climate Polluters? Satellites Sweep for Culprits
Governments are turning to the technology to expose hidden sources of greenhouse-gas emissions and monitor compliance with global pacts—as well as to point fingers at each other.
Spaceship Neptune isn’t powered by rockets but is lifted 30 kilometers above the Earth by a gigantic balloon, big enough to fit a whole football stadium inside.
I agree with your comment but noted that it’s also odd how sustainability, when mentioned in the same context as space, now refers to moving the crap we spread around the earth over the last 100 years, rather than sustainability of the planet and people themselves. Funny old, knackered world.

Ironic that our appetite for more/better communications (via satellites) paid for the early space economy. And that the internet and communications are what we give poorer countries, instead of food. Now they know why their kids are dying in pollution and disease at least.
Climate change, security and telecoms are among the key themes driving a boom in the space economy. Here’s a look at what’s behind the increased interest.
The UK’s Daily (hate) Mail reports that the US has just, ahem, 2 pieces more junk in space as the Russians. Go figure.
