Space Trash Signs: Understanding Space Pollution

Space exploration is skyrocketing. And with it comes the problem of trash. Over 160 million pieces of trash threaten all functional space infrastructure, and ultimately, our ability to utilize a finite resource.

In this talk, we will also explore different approaches to solving the problem of space pollution.
