Dr. John Barentine FRAS<p>“The results presented above suggest these perceived benefits for constellations at low LEO altitudes may not be realised. The large numbers of satellites within these constellations and the extended period over which the constellations are maintained by replenishing satellites – potentially over many decades – will mean that an unstable or even runaway environment at low LEO altitudes will continue to be a possibility.” </p><p><a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Hugh-Lewis/publication/391093502_CRITICAL_NUMBER_O[…]ENT-OF-THE-STABILITY-OF-THE-ORBITAL-DEBRIS-ENVIRONMENT.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">researchgate.net/profile/Hugh-</span><span class="invisible">Lewis/publication/391093502_CRITICAL_NUMBER_O[…]ENT-OF-THE-STABILITY-OF-THE-ORBITAL-DEBRIS-ENVIRONMENT.pdf</span></a></p><p><a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/SpaceDebris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpaceDebris</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/SpaceEnvironment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpaceEnvironment</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Space</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Satellites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Satellites</span></a> <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Megaconstellations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Megaconstellations</span></a></p>

Swaantje GüntzelLunar Litter (Jettison Bag) or Things we left on the moon<br>
<br>
Garbage bag, inspired by the so-called “jettison bags” used in space travel. I had two of these bags produced and embroidered with the lettering “lunar litter only.” On May 23, 2023, one bag was sent to the HQ of NASA with the request that it be taken to the moon as part of the Artemis II mission, planned for 2025, to retrieve some of the 190 tons of material left behind by NASA during the Apollo missions.<br>
<br>
You find all the objects that were left behind on the moon listed in the "Catalogue of Manmade Material on the Moon" by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration here: <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/final-catalogue-of-manmade-material-on-the-moon.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/final-catalogue-of-manmade-material-on-the-moon.pdf</a><br>
<br>
I realized the work with the help of my wonderful assistant Joana Bacelar.<br>
