Scientists in Germany and around the world are trying to get a grip on the problem of space debris, which is threatening everyday life as we know it today.
Commentary:
When the 6th European Conference of Space Debris took place in Darmstadt in 2013, I learned for the very first time about the danger of space debris. I started my research on the topic and I got to know that the so-called Kessler Syndrome could soon lead to a catastrophe in the near-Earth orbits, which would fundamentally change our everyday life on earth. With our documentary SPACE CLEANERS, I would like to draw the public attention to another problem in our environment that we need to focus now. Space debris is a global problem that currently has neither convincing solutions nor international rules that could solve it. Through the work by various scientists in Germany, I would like to give the viewer an insight into space debris and point out the importance of the infrastructure in space for humanity.
