    NASA has released a new report highlighting the growing problem of space debris and recommending potential solutions. The report suggests the use of laser technology and space tugs as two promising methods for mitigating the risks posed by space debris.

    According to the report, there are currently more than 20,000 pieces of debris larger than 10 cm in orbit around the Earth, with the potential to cause significant damage to spacecraft and satellites. The report emphasizes the urgent need to address this issue before it becomes even more severe.

    One of the proposed solutions is the use of laser technology to track and remove debris from orbit. This would involve using high-powered lasers to target and break down larger pieces of debris, making them easier to remove using space tugs.

    Space tugs are spacecraft that are capable of towing or pushing other objects in space. The report suggests using these vehicles to collect and remove smaller pieces of debris, which can be more difficult to track and target with lasers.

    The report also emphasizes the need for international cooperation in addressing the space debris problem. It calls for the establishment of guidelines and standards for responsible space operations and the sharing of data and resources among countries and organizations.

    Overall, the report serves as a call to action for the global space community to take proactive steps in addressing the issue of space debris. By working together and leveraging innovative technologies like lasers and space tugs, we can help ensure the safety and sustainability of space operations for years to come.
