This item is an edited video on the space debris issue, produced for the European Conferenc on Space Debris which took place on 19-21 March 2001. It comprises of 3-D computer animations with English slates and and German voiceover and illustrates the sources of space debris, their orbital distribution, associated risk potentials and possible mitigation measures to conserve the earths environment for space activites in the future.
