It has surely happened sometimes to look at the night sky and catch sight of a small, brighting spot moving like an airplane, but without ashing as usually airplane lights do: it was a satellite. It is always amazing to think that there are objects that continously orbit around Earth, so far from us. Maybe, it is not well-known that they are a lot...thousands...more or less 17,000 those closer to the Earth, to be precise. It is difficult to imagine how so much objects can orbit without touching or colliding each other. From the beginning of the space activities in 1957, an enormous number of objects have been sent or released in space, and thinking that space is so limitless that it could contain everything, all these objects have been aba...
