It was prepared from information provided by telecom­ munication administrations of ITU Member countries, the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR), national space research organizations, the International Frequency Registration Board (IFRB) o f the ITU, and from details published in the specialized press. The data concerning the orbit parameters are the initial orbital data. Fragments or stages of rockets left over from launching operations and placed in orbit with the various spacecraft have not been included.

Each colour corresponds to a different level of brightness in the field of view of the camera and does not reflect the real colours of the comet.

Orloff, 01/2001/Page 1 STS-41B INSIGNIA S83-45520 -- The orbiter is flanked in the oval by an illustration of a PAM-D assisted satellite deployment; and an astronaut making the first non-tethered extravehicular activity; and eleven stars. The crew member at right is equipped with the manned maneuvering unit, a debuting backpack/motor apparatus allowing for much greater freedom of movement than that experienced by any previous space travelers performing EVA. The artist was Robert McCall. The NASA insignia design for space shuttle flights is reserved for use by the astronauts and for other official use as the NASA Administrator may authorize. Public availability has been approved only in the form of illustrations by the various news media. When and if there is any change in this policy, which we do not anticipate, it will be publicly announced. PHOTO CREDIT: NASA or National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Edited by Richard W.

  • Orbiting Debris: a Space Environmental Problem
    Orbiting Debris: A Space Environmental Problem October 1990 OTA-BP-ISC-72 NTIS order #PB91-114272 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Orbiting Debris: A Space Environmental Problem-Background Paper, OTA-BP-ISC-72 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1990). For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword Man-made debris, now circulating in a multitude of orbits about Earth as the result of the exploration and use of the space environment, poses a growing hazard to future space operations. The 6,000 or so debris objects large enough to be cataloged by the U.S. Space Surveillance Network are only a small percentage of the total debris capable of damaging spacecraft. Unless nations reduce the amount of orbital debris they produce, future space activities could suffer loss of capability, destruction of spacecraft, and perhaps even loss of life as a result of collisions between spacecraft and debris. Better understanding of the extent and character of “space junk” will be crucial for planning future near-Earth missions, especially those projects involving humans in space. This OTA background paper summarizes the current state of knowlege about the causes and distribution of orbiting debris, and examines R&D needs for reducing the problem. As this background paper notes, addressing the problem will require the involvement of all nations active in space. The United States has taken the lead to increase international understanding of the issue but much work lies ahead.
