☆ A Cure for Doomscrolling: Shaming Your Friends
  + stars: | 2024-10-01 | by ( Amanda Hoover | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
For The New York Times' games app, it filled me with ire; I can't do a Sunday crossword in 10-minute increments. One downloaded it, restricted TikTok, and then texted me: "I'm currently scrolling on TikTok and plan to all day. Royce Branning, a cofounder of Clearspace, says the company started testing the friends feature after hearing that users were taking screenshots of their Clearspace screen tracking and sharing it with one another. I'm not sure where my friends spent all their screen time, but being on a phone doesn't inherently ruin your life. Maybe logging in to an app like Clearspace with friends, family, and romantic partners could help people police each other.

☆ A dead Russian spacecraft almost collided with a NASA satellite. The crash could have sent 7,500 bits of debris rocketing around Earth.

In the worst-case scenario, the collision would have ejected 7,500 bits of debris into low-Earth orbit. Satellite collisions are becoming more likely as the amount of space junk in low-Earth orbit grows. Even the tiniest debris can damage the space station and endanger astronauts, though no astronaut has lost their life due to space debris (yet). The race to clean up spaceThe consequences of space debris are very real, so much so, that the worst-case scenario has a name: Kessler syndrome. TransAstra's capture bags could help solve Earth's space debris problem.

☆ NASA awarded $850,000 to a company that wants to pick up space trash the old-fashioned way — with bags

NASA awarded TransAstra an $850,000 contract for its concept of Flytrap capture bags. Flytrap bags could be built large enough to scoop up space trash the size of a house. He looked up and saw a piece of space junk embedded in the window of the shuttle. The European Space Agency estimates over 330 million pieces of space debris are circling the Earth.

☆ Investing in Space: The nascent market for tracking and removing debris from orbit
  + stars: | 2023-08-24 | by ( Michael Sheetz | In Michaeljsheetz | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
It's a sad irony, but an irony nonetheless, that this week the European Space Agency announced that a piece of space debris — left in orbit by a 2013 launch of Arianespace's Vega rocket and the target of a removal mission — appears to have been struck by other space debris. But the ISS itself may have to dodge space debris this afternoon, with station controllers considering changing its altitude. The risk posed by space debris is not a novel problem for the industry, but it's an ever more pressing one. Satellites and space debris are largely tracked via ground-based radars and telescopes. Debris removal is a nascent part of the broader satellite servicing market (also known as In-Space Servicing, Assembly and Manufacturing, or ISAM).
