27. Space Junk

Theme 8 Reading’in ana metni **SPACE JUNK** başlığını taşır.

Source: space missions leave:

• rocket parts,
• broken satellites,
• old spacecraft,
• small particles

behind in space.

28. Broken Satellites and Old Spacecraft

Space Junk reading: thousands of:

• broken satellites,
• old spacecraft,
• technological junk

move through Earth’s orbit at very high speeds.

29. Rocket Parts

Reading:

**when a rocket takes off, parts of it sometimes separate during the launch and stay in space**

30. Non-Functioning Satellites

Reading:

**When a satellite stops functioning, it drifts in orbit.**

31. Space Collisions

Reading: if space objects crash:

• they create small particles,
• particles spread through the solar system,
• they become dangerous.
