Element II Lesson 6 Space Debris
Fill the blanks.

On a clear night, you can look at the stars (     ) the sky. (     ) (     ) you cannot see it, you are also looking at the largest junkyard in the solar system. (  1  ) higher than the highest clouds but much closer than the moon, the junkyard stretches (     ) 20,000 miles overhead. There are tens (     ) millions of pieces of junk there. Some are rocks and dust from (  2  ) comets, but most are  and called “orbital debris.”

Astronauts have lost a camera, tools, and a glove in space. Most of the junk, however, comes (     ) large satellites and rockets that fell apart (     ) they stopped (  3  ). Together, all the space junk would weigh about 11 million pounds (     ) the Earth, or more than 3,000 cars. The largest piece is a part (     ) rocket about the size of a family car. The smallest piece is smaller than your fingernail. Most pieces fly (     ) space (     ) more than 20 times the speed that sound travels on the Earth. A small stone in orbit (     ) the Earth can have (     ) much energy (     ) a bowling ball (  4  ) 500 miles per hour, or a car going 30 miles per hour.

The junkyard is a serious problem (     ) the future of space travel. You’ve got thousands of satellites (     ) orbit all the time. (     ) tracking debris, you cannot avoid collisions. In 1983, a small crack appeared (     ) one window of the space shuttle Challenger (     ) it was in space. That was caused (     ) a small, orbiting piece of paint. If the shuttle had been struck by a larger piece of junk, the astronauts might have been (     ) danger. When the space shuttle Endeavour returned (     ) the Earth, its body had small holes (     ) space garbage. Two satellites also had to change direction to avoid collisions (     ) big pieces of junk.

Conjugate the word place, pass, work, and go to fit the parenthesis 1 to 4.
