According to the quarterly report of NASA, Russia has more than any other countries in the earth’s orbit.

Specialists of the space agency estimated that about one third of the garbage objects of Russian origin – 6501 of 18347. The second place in terms of the volume of the orbital space-slag is occupied by the USA, which owns 6017 space waste units. The third line in the anti-rating was taken by China with an indicator of 3,800 garbage objects.
