Garbage of detonate Russian missile threat space satellites and ISS

On the way from the International Space Station and other space vehicles that move at a relatively short distance from the Earth, a new threat - a cloud of more than 500 pieces, formed by the explosion of the Russian upper stage.

The explosion in orbit rocket engine "Breeze-M" was the third explosion engine for our country, starting in 2007; engines were left in elliptical orbits that intersect the ISS and some satellites.

ISS threatening cloud of debris

Recall that a Proton-M, which was supposed to deliver in orbit two satellites, could not do so because of problems in the upper stage. Accident occurred at the beginning of August, and has since drifted upper stage in low-Earth orbit. But on August 16 he exploded, creating a cloud of 500 fragments.
