Active debris

The following Gantt chart showcases space debris orbiting Earth (as of March 6th, 2022) in launch date order. The initial date refers to the original satellite launch or the debris creation date (probably caused by a subsequent collision). The color refers to the object type: debris, rocket body fragments, or TBA (To Be Assigned) objects, still unidentified. The top-10 biggest groups of debris are further examined in the dedicated chapter "Debris Stories".
