SpaceNews, "Space debris crisis: the national security threat we’re ignoring"

Today, Earth’s orbits carry over 100 million debris objects, which have already resulted in nearly 400 debris-generating events, according to NASA. In the last six months alone, space debris has crashed into Poland, near Turks and Caicos, and in Kenya. In January, a new report was released detailing the growing risk space junk poses to aircraft, and in March the FAA reported 240 flights were disrupted due to falling space debris from a failed launch.

GPS World, "Space Debris Endanger GPS"

19% of tracked space objects threaten GPS and other GNSS satellites. While there are many fewer objects in MEO than in LEO, the risk in the former is arguably greater because GPS is so critical to almost all of our technology.  Article covers background, false sense of security, and a proactive solution.
