rolling for you this era chinese war ship, some fighter jets of in circle taiwan on a 3rd consecutive day of military exercises. beijing says it's a warning to the audit to after it's president met with a top us official. that's all for now after the break close of zooms in on the out of service satellites that are littering space and there's plenty more news on analysis on our website d, w dot com and you can follow or social media channels or handle is dw newsprint golf we'll be here from the top of the next hour from me on the team in berlin. thanks for watching. take care. ah. will you work as an architect, jacqueline, or not at all? women in architecture? why are they so invisible to the larger public? we decided to ask them, what is the poetry the secret of a house?

shattering the glass ceiling. women in architecture starts april 20th on d. w. the sky's over portland, oregon in march 2021. but that hey la. hank. debrief from a rocket crashing down to earth. most of it burned up in its descent, but not all of it. ha, a fuel tank. plunged onto a farm. the people up here and or but face the danger of space debris every single day. there, man, i'll receive all the doors to the space station. then we cross our fingers and hope for the best with spaces cluttered up with junk. it could destroy the satellites. we rely on every day. passages, i suddenly space will be out of balance. that's back,

not fiction. and if that happens, so there won't be much left of our business model or our company. my next move is satellite trash, something we should all be worried about being aerospace student at the technical university of dark stud and need to wait patiently. but soon they get a glimpse of it. but i, i guess something they look everywhere. although the shortly after sunset is the best time to see satellites, they are still lit up by the sun while it's already dark down on earth. oh, but yeah, yes, covers me. so i need to keep her eyes peeled in. somebody been out the best time. it's moving north, that's it, or not gone? well, no doubt in the long run. there's another good love to be older than the women. many satellites are visible to day. when you come down to remove the band hall got

card from the european space agency or isa can even identify which one is which document or does could that could have been the starling satellite to reasons on star link promises to provide high speed internet from space the satellites, a long term line masks aerospace empire. soon after launching their bunch close together, then isa gets a lot of calls from us. if you don't know what it is, you really do wonder, i get that the image is recorded by astronomers are also increasingly crisscrossed by satellites. starling alone, clients to launch 30000 satellites. other companies are also planning similar mega constellations, recorded metric and see 6000 stars with the naked eye. with the could build that one day. we can see more moving satellites than stars in our skies will be full of motion rather than stones. and that's a radical change date of the throne. good to on

a new era has begun the industrialization of space. and that generates all kinds of waste. but at the isa satellite control center, holger clark, and monitor what will crash down to earth in the coming weeks like rocket boosters or the debris from satellites, some of which have been an orbit for decades. at not everything burns up when it re enters the earth's atmosphere. therefore, bowen, we turned on those titanium stainless steel, heedless dive, and fuel time us especially because they need to a stand immense pressure or an engine nozzles which must withstand heat. osgood, because these materials are very heat resistance, it's a problem on re entry food. where did some william some 30000 tons of space debris have re entered the earth's atmosphere in the last 60 years. no one has ever been struck and died. a lot ends up falling into the ocean. dude, vagina, skype,

the probability that you are i will be here, but i, one of these objects during our lifetime is smaller than the odds of been struck by lightning twice at office. and yet you just can't dismiss it to one of the boys. i to see there are such people as good lord, i've heard of a person who's been struck by lightning 6 times seem as a so you can look at the probabilities. either way. however, it's clear that debris poses the biggest danger in space, and that danger grows with every additional satellite. the busier it gets in space, the more likely accidents are to happen. debris from satellites resulting new collisions sparking a chain reaction with consequences for us back on earth. take, for example, the european navigation system. galileo. it uses 24 satellites to be able to pinpoint your location. a sat nav needs to have contact with several of them. if one satellite fails, others take over, but it says well are knocked out,

things get less precise. as space fills up with debris, we're at risk of losing the tech. we now rely on this young. if you look at your smartphone, 40 percent of the apps on or to have something to do with services provided from space huffman dinner, including navigation systems, and weather forecasts, that phone calls, the advisor will be better for under our end with perhaps even have internet from space and i'm in a venue after i took that us internet, zuba, austin, all of that is at risk if we do not sufficiently protector, infrastructure and space interest is true initially through switzer. about 2 thirds of space. debris circles around the earth in long orbit, including tens of thousands of big objects and millions of smaller pieces. and it's at this same altitude that's easier and cheaper for companies to reach organ surely good. hello. it's well align all as good as the valuable hi, mom and his colleague michelle toys. toys are about to send

a new satellite into orbit and they belong to the 1st generation of space entrepreneurs. the sector called itself new space. the satellites by the high manufacturers at german orbital systems are called cube sats because of their shape . they're small and inexpensive to produce. they use the same micro chips and aerials as automakers. these days, even a medium sized business can afford to have its own nano satellites, an orbit to, to test technology or to transfer data. amazons on the space is a bit like the wild west and the way it's being handled from like there are no laws as to who whoever comes 1st stakes a claim for clients, a flag in that headline spots. oh doesn't of course it can't carry on. like that, this comes along with the listeners, my thinking, the cheapest way of launching a satellite is in what is called a satellite. so ration system lights,

a one being developed by michelle tolstoy. the cube sat can be stacked up like tiny frayed containers. all they need now is a lift, given that the cost of a rocket can quickly saw to 60000000 euros this become of these on others. of course, you can't afford that if you've only just scraped together the funds for a small satellite like this by her. that's why it's good that the main satellite on here that can be a telecommunication soft lithe or something big like earth observations, has an effect already paid for the rock at the i give anguish from baton up. the nano satellites, essentially hitch a ride into space. a few months later available. hi, emma is on his way to the united states. he is going to deliver a number of small satellites for launch into space. he has colleagues stone themselves by the high ma has followed in the footsteps of his

father who helped build a saw you spacecraft and rush up back then space agencies dominated the scene. nowadays. one company in particular is setting the pace a space x off crenshaw boulevard. like then turn right onto rocket road with space x. multi billionaire ilan mosque has built a business out of space missions among his customers. our nasa, i'm isa space x even takes their astronauts into space these days on the missed i couldn't film inside the building. so i was of course, everything is top secret and off limits analytic on. and i think that the american us might be less amused, or at least as equally on amused, as the russian spouse if you don't stick to the rules and hope space sex is trying to make space travel more affordable. and cutting down on waste is part of that by the hi emma and his colleagues stop by cape canaveral to check out a technology whole innovation from space x. the booster takes the rock,

had on the 1st 100 kilometers of its journey. in the past, it would have been consigned to the trash heap after. but now after about 8 minutes early i. oh yeah. yeah. oh, the booster lands back on earth. page one, 0, space x had to invest a lot of money to achieve that. and some established aerospace companies doubt whether that investment will ever really pay off. they believe in reusability recovery of boosters, but you can see it. well, it meant that the russians also said that was basic said we will recover through some blue book law. we're just, we'll build cheaper all kids but as space slowly fills up with debris, every one will be affected. back in berlin,

there is no international law for disposing of satellites. just an agreement that they will be brought back down to earth no more than 25 years after c st. opperation. but fewer than half actually return using their remaining fuel. both the same as a foreigner and quote will accumulate that requires a co operative satellite with my a satellite that still responds to my commands that still works. felix is deemed that makes it difficult for companies on the operator to say the good for okay. even though it's still function logged in, i'm going to get rid of it now in my son, in most cases, if you have the satellite is no longer responding with it, it isn't possible to communicate with home or it's just humbling around somewhere out of control getting done then the only way to get rid of it is to wait until it burns up in the atmosphere this a certain atmosphere for gluten. and that takes time, which is why here on the coast of the netherlands,

scientists are studying how to de orbit out of service satellites faster. this is where e says technology center is located. here, researchers simulate space on earth. they replicate the conditions in orbit extreme radiation and wildly fluctuating temperatures. engineer daniel stead, so works at h. p. s. the munich based company. he's here to make the most of it. he says, testing facilities. he and his colleagues have traveled to the netherlands to try out a new technology intended to help tidy up space. he says tits yanna cardona co designed the device. it's purpose is to ensure satellites do not spent decades floating around is to breathe after spending just a few years and service. the small box contains technology that could

bring decommissioned satellites back to earth more quickly, mover and uncomfortable until they come to elementary. we need to speed that up once we're launching more and more and bringing down to few. it's getting ever more crowded or follow at some point, so it'll be in to congested and dangerously so we need to act. now, thing was met again was to the small boxes fitted to a satellite before its launch. once the satellite is ready for retirement, a small sale is unfurled from the box that increases its atmospheric drag, slowing it down, and pushing it out of orbit. as it re enters the earth's atmosphere, it burns up. it's an effective way of getting rid of satellite and low orbit, where there are atmospheric remnants. it takes a maximum of 2 years for the satellite with a sale to fall down, whether the sale unfurls at the right time hinges on leave, not huffmans, folding tech deserts orders. at the 1st project i've been fully involved in the year been, and many of my ideas have been incorporated by it. so it's really something special

in this development began at isa. and in here till sienna cardona invested a lot of work and passion into the project over the last few years, along with a company h p. s. now it's ready. ah, the sale can rest on board the satellite for years and space and then unfurl on. command. is a system sunday system seems to work very well, have been a year, does then con, but it would of course, be a dream come true for me. if everyone could see that all for me and for everyone to see it, it must be launched into space. today's the big day in h. b. s. in munich, everyone has gathered in the company's production hall. sometimes staff get together here to watch soccer. today they hope to see

a successful launch. danny instead. so sale is inside. now, in the top section of this space, x rocket attached to one of the 88 nano satellites. folio not huffman, this is the 1st chance he'll watch. one of his developments being sent into orbit 11 minutes to count down their aden about from we're talking about more than 50000 satellites from the u. s. ammonia, india. and if we see the danger of the satellites colliding up there, and we can help bring them down earlier and just to be that i wouldn't want someone else to get this business uses business human on those mot. there's no popcorn one or the final preparations are underway in cape canaveral. 5 minutes, 5 minutes. but then suddenly the space ex transmission freezes. oh god, get up on your hands working. 30

seconds to go. for just about 20 seconds, we have left off our oh ah no and we did hear the call to hold the um it's a they stopped at 11 seconds from lift off and now we have to wait 15 minutes. i mean, i had to bubble and then suddenly the live transmission and just say that's gonna do it for us. they canceled it today. yeah, no, really? yeah. physical is gone, us just a few seconds before launch an aircraft straight into the safety zone around the rock at launch pad. leo not hoffman won't see his work debut in space to day. those

who take the 1st leap in the new space industry can get rich late comers those out . but a new launch attempt is planned to mm hm. what does it mean for the future of the aerospace sector? if we can't get a handle on the problem of space debris, german astronaut mateus mower has experienced the very real danger of space junk since november 2021 on board, the international space station the i assess, the risk to human life is greater than anywhere else the next step is european space agency astronaut mathias m hour. just 2 days after mo has arrival to the i assess emergency strikes. 15 minutes, the next debris field path mccloud,

has all the alexander i going to ground about more accurately and enduring them. yes, the space debris hurdling towards the i assess was created by the russian military after a destroyed one of its own satellites and attest. we spoke exclusively with mathias mella about how the astronauts respond in such cases. given minor, grew them in my go into the capital with my crew and in the my so all the doors in the space station and then we cross our fingers and hope for the battled piled store. and then if a piece of debris were to have the space station, then we would still be able to fly away safely, and land on earth and lumpkin can of the air. in this instance, the astronauts were able to leave the capsule after a while. but the trash remained to a compact cloud of junk turned into a ring of debris. oh, because the gravitational pull is still strong so close to the earth. the trash

will probably gradually burn up and the atmosphere over the next 2 years. but between now and then it could cross the space stations path several times. even tiny fragments of debris are very dangerous in space because they collide at 40000 kilometers per hour. the i assess is protected with multi layer shields. a high speed camera shows what happens when it takes a hit. the object is 1st broken up into smaller pieces by the external shield. then these internal shield catches what's left. a robotic arm found evidence of thousands of such collisions on the outer hull of the i assess the proliferation of space junk makes living and working on the outposts of humanity more and more dangerous systems. this is this

knowledge while this is, i'm gonna put this short term thinking really makes me a bit sad inside them via in may. we all know, since we keep on finding trash on the world's oceans in our food chain, fin that we should protect and preserve our resources on a larger scale winslow, this wilson fits and space is a resource. lum is dinosaurs, others wealthy space agencies have set ambitious goals over the next few years. another mission to the moon, and then on to mars. but if something doesn't change soon, our space ambitions might soon be crushed. mm. we could be dropped on earth by the junk above us. stretcher laws are not likely any time soon. so it's down to the space industry to act responsibly at the space tech expo in blame and germany by about hi,

my wants to find buyers for his satellites. and he set up a new company kind of one of the no one surprised if you're on to something new or working somewhere else on that one day, the company existence, then it's gone. that's normal. get some work together with his new partners. he submitted a bid for an you contract. the aim is to build up a satellite network to guarantee high speed internet in europe was good other. this is about many hundreds of satellites fall. what star link is for the u. s, but better and innovative investor with data production and everything that's so important in your audience. it's about implementing that in your own that bounced pfeifer from h. p. s is also here. he's a spokesman for a working group for small to medium sized aerospace enterprises in germany. every once curious about bahamas plan with the other for the full name was if your constellation, yes, planning one. i know this, but the list him all you'll make one is you're leading the way of us, blah. but what plans do you have to make your constellation disappear again?

because when did i leave out? that we did? sure. it'd be t orbited 2 years after its operating life at the latest. where and talks about that we didn't. i'm good place. yeah. on my all. that's why i'm, yes, 2 years is definitely possible was sales. we'd have to adapt the sale size to your satellite. something how much do they weigh roughly coin of $25300.00 a sale area, a 5 to 7 square meters on the scene. robert maple, the races on to secure the best places in space. starling is the furthest along with its mecca constellation. several 1000 and the $30000.00 plan satellites are already in operation. amazon is working on the keeper constellation. one web has also started to launch satellites, as has the chinese government and a whole host of private companies. the more constellations in orbit, the more crucial that is that everyone's cleaning up after themselves. this movement that help you have to imagine bus possible what happened is when something like that goes,

but after launching 600 satellites into space. yeah. who's responsible for di orbiting your btn, who pays the personnel to issue the commander? if it stops working? who intervenes? i. stakeholders agree with europe needs its own constellation delivering high speed internet and data. when we got high knob than if we don't have one m, then we have a strong us base sector on the one hand on thought, segment, and a strong asian space actor on the other. i think men should be count on always getting our data from these places from the isn't lend on when class level for europe not to have one was how much of your constellation do you estimate will be source from germany? 50 percent of the from 50 or more, you can find everything in germany. it's done within the german era space industry is growing. some of the small startups from 5 years ago are now big players. this is plus the challenge. it's suddenly all within reach the you don't need

a multi billionaire holdings behind you to build things that fly into space in vocal. you can actually build a pretty gigantic thing with relatively modest means and talent and passion. lieber high tech pick one topic that it's fantastic. i'm the fucking diabolic that are hawkish and will be the central guy live in the german space sector. many are hoping that the you will give financial backing to sustainable solutions at h. p. s. engineer danielle dazel and the rest of the company dream of rolling out production of their satellite track sales. but 1st they need to send one to space on the shock there, the where the looks of mock really good. recently been like here perhaps this time leo, not huffman will get to see the lift offering of his 1st major project. and this is the 2nd attempt to launch the rocket through and the production hall. there are life pictures again from cape canaveral.

oh that even 6 fear that i fly by there you go. down around with it takes about an hour before the rocket reaches its intended orbit, the m back engine or the 2nd stage. well formed 2nd engine start one and ignite that and back engine through the ly feed every one can closely follow how the 88 satellites are released. one after the other. guys i satellite version are much fun and exciting. unbelievable. own fasfa. ah, that's up about right. i on satellite carrier separation confirmed, i don't 3 that was up. mm. because they're

using on your part of this tie back to 11 in one year's time the drag sale should start pulling the satellite out of its orbit. and one last look as their product heads off into space. if all goes to plan the people here hope it will result in major investment in their drag sales in berlin, vita by the hi. emma is also marking a special occasion. the e. u has awarded the contract to him and his partners as part of

a study. they're now developing an independent european satellite network, initially as a computer simulation, but by lima is convinced that he will be sending the 1st satellites into space and 2023. european industry is also calling for its own constellation to guarantee internet on earth for self driving vehicles. for example, you automobile house to automakers are one of the biggest employers in the u, not just in germany, but in france and other countries on the ball and concussion. it's hard to imagine that without satellite connectivity, they'd be able to compete with tesla, which will obviously be connected to starling, from this list and styling for once i'm done. after all, both companies are part of elan masks, empire. but i mind his team, not they want to get into orbit as quickly as possible. they want to dispose of space clutter faster. otherwise, there will be no future for new space. these industry. yeah. this industry?

yes, it's new. it's very promising and boots off. it could be a driver of economic growth all going on. it could also generate wealth in germany to not foreign. and we're still up at the forefront builds that. but if we clutter up space, nobody will benefit stuff. and he says, satellite control center in dumpster germany, hundreds of collision warning the day are now the norm for hunger cock and his team . they know it can't go on like this. though, this isn't enough to wait for this coming close as well. to when is it also on the 3 door to the earth observation, satellite center. no one could collide with a rocket booster if it remains on its current path and to breathe from a chinese satellite threatens to wipe out sentinel 3. if things go on like this, the team will end up doing nothing but planning avoidance maneuvers. i time for something to be done. the to melinda gave him the,

the will always be nations that won't participating them up. but if the most important explanations which generate the most traffic come together here that that's half the battle duncan, and how may i from the i'm in the end, the same principle applies to space as to protecting the climate. if individual nations don't play their part, every one will face the consequences. ah, present, garcias's thoughts, they will grey you will. ah imagine

how many portions of land are thrown out in the world? climate change? the story, this is my plan, the way from just one week how much was can really get we still have time to work. i'm doing all this week on world story. helping the home less than india. french be strows as world heritage sites.
