Tiangong space station damaged by debris strike

[Graeme1858]

Astronauts on the Shenzhou 17 mission conducted two spacewalks outside the Tiangong space station this winter, most recently on March 1. At the time, Chinese media said there had been a partial (but minor) loss of power supply after the outpost's solar panels suffered a debris strike.

Unfortunately there are going to be more of these incidents due to the amount of space junk up there.

It gets more dangerous with every imact because whats being hit is also traveling at extreme speed so now all the collision material becomes future impact mater in the orbit and following its decay wich will likely then cross other lower orbits.

The thought of space walking up there is a scary one indeed...

Our sky is getting more cluttered. I hope someone somewhere is working on a solution.
