Space junk map tracks 200 �ticking time bombs� - BBC World Service

Thousands of human-made objects orbit earth and the majority of them no longer work. There�s a risk this space debris could collide with functioning satellites, which provide vital services like GPS and weather warnings.

To track and predict its behaviour, Prof Moriba Jah and his colleagues built AstriaGraph � a near real-time map of where each object is located in space. He explains that the system is monitoring around 200 �super-spreaders� � large rocket bodies that have the potential to break into thousands of pieces.
