and when it comes to trafficking nigerian women for sex, they're always saying the same thing about you get to go without having to pay thing it. obviously that's all align m n a forms. yes. and then you succeed in restoring this young girls ability to treat it. it's something that really is price meant that gives me not to what i do. the trio combating. shady dealings starts april 29th on d. w. ah. the skies over portland, oregon in march 2021. what that hey, peg debrief from a rocket crashing down to earth. most of it burned up in its descent,

but not all of it. ah. the fuel tank plunged onto a farm. the people up here in orbit faced the danger of space debris, every single day. grandma and i looked receive all the doors to the space station. then we cross our fingers and hope for the best with. if space is cluttered up with junk, it could destroy the satellites. we rely on every day because it is the suddenly space will be out of balance. that's back not fiction. and if that happens, like there won't be much left of our business model or our company, my next meeting is satellite trash, something we should all be worried about. because with aerospace students at the technical university of dogs that need to wait patiently . but soon they get a glimpse of it. but i,

i guess something there. look every y o dog shortly after sunset is the best time to see satellites. they're still lit up by the sun while it's already dark. down on earth. yeah, yeah, problems. i need to keep her eyes keel if somebody pronounced the best time it's moving north that seat on the lawn. well, do that in the long run. there's another love to be older than the women. many satellites are visible to day when we come down to hunter with plaza clag from the european space agency or isa can even identify which one is which i've heard as current. that could have been the starling satellite, to reasons on. star link promises to provide high speed internet from space. the satellites along tightly 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 images recorded by astronomers are also increasingly crisscrossed by satellites. starling alone plans to launch 30000 satellites. other companies are also planning similar mega constellations, recruitment. you can see 6000 stars with the naked eye and it couldn't be done one day. we can see more moving satellites than stars in our skies will be full of motion rather than stillness in him as a radical change of the throne grew 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. but 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 was especially because they need to a stung immense pressure or an engine nozzles, which must withstand heated osgood because these materials are very heat resistance . it's a problem on re entry wood. where did some bully him? 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 vir shyness. go to the probability that you are i will be here, but i will. these objects during our lifetime is smaller than the odds of been struck by lightning twice, often. and yet you just can't dismiss it to one of the it was i to see there are such people as good lord, i've heard of a person who's been struck by lightning the 6th time. see him either. so you can look at 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 resulted 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's several 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 wednesday. and if you look at your smartphone, 40 percent of the apps on or to go have something to do with services provided from space huffman dinner, including navigation systems, weather forecasts that phone calls. it either would be better for under our end with perhaps even have internet from space or i'm in a venue our flights of got us internet, zuba, austin, all of that is at risk if we do not sufficiently protector infrastructure in space,

50 initially. so it's about 2 thirds of space. debris circles around the earth in the 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's good is that about hi, my and his colleague michelle toys, toys are about to send a new satellite into orbit in. they belong to the 1st generation of space entrepreneurs. the sector calls itself new space. the satellites by the hammer, 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 size business can afford to have its own nano satellites. in order to,

to test technology or to transfer data, when was transacting the space is a bit like the wild west. and the way it's being handled from like there are no laws as to what whoever comes 1st stakes a claim for clients, a flag and 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 separation system. like the 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 rock had, can quickly saw to 60000000 euros. this become indeed another lovely horse you can't afford that if you've only just scraped together the funds for a small satellite like this. dia, that's why it's good that the main satellite on here that can be a telecommunication satellite or something big like earth observations, has in effect, already paid for the rock at the i give anguish on the tithe,

up the nano satellites, essentially hitch a ride into space a few months later, visitor by 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 seed nowadays. one company in particular is setting the pace space ex hotel crenshaw boulevard. i can 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 in a political and i think that the americans might be less amused or at least as equally on amused, as the russians boss. 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. as part of that by the hi, my and his colleagues, i stopped by cape canaveral to check out a technological innovation from space x. the booster takes the rocket 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 will. the payoff is really believed in reusability recovery of boosters, but they can see it. well, it hurt both of the russians also said like, well, it's basic said we will recover through sla, we just, we will build you barrel kits. 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 justin agreement that they will be brought back down to earth no more than 25 years after ceasing operation. but fewer than half actually return using their remaining fuel. but i thought this was a foreigner to incorporate a few that requires a co operative satellite of mine, a satellite that still responds to my commands that still works, feeling good. that makes it difficult for companies. so the operators to say the

good for okay, even though it still functions logged in, i'm going to get rid of it now in my son, in most cases, if the satellite is no longer responding with that, it isn't possible to communicate with home or it's just tumbling around somewhere out of control gettng on that then the only way to get rid of it is to wait until it burns up in the atmosphere. this a gsa, an atmosphere for glued. and that takes time, which is why here on the coast of the netherlands, scientists are studying how to di or bed out of service satellites faster. this is where he says technology center is located here at researchers simulate space on earth. they replicate the conditions in orbit extreme radiation and wildly fluctuating temperatures. engineer daniel stared solid 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 travel

to the netherlands to try out a new technology intended to help tidy up space. he says its deanna cardona co design the device it's hospice is to ensure satellites do not spent decades floating around as debris. after spending just a few years and service, the small box contains technology that could bring decommissioned satellites back to earth, more quickly, mover than one company will do. they come to elementary, we need to speed that up and 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 dangerously. so we need to act. now, thing was net 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 satellites 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 they sail unfurls at the right time hinges, unless not huffmans, folding tech deserts orders as the 1st project i've been fully involved in that been and many of my ideas have been incorporated by it. so it's really something special and development began at isa. engineered itsyana 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 every one could see that all for me, and for every one to see it, it must be launched into space. today's the big day. in h. b. s. in munich. everyone is gathered in the companies production hall. sometimes staff get together here to watch soccer to day they hope to see a successful launch. daniel standstill sale is inside. now in the top section of this space, x rocket attached to one of the 8 nana satellites. for leo, not huffman, this is the 1st chance he'll watch. one of his developments being sent into orbit 11 minutes to count down the aden about food. so we're talking about more than 50000 satellites from the u. s. a mona finn. and if we see the danger of the

satellites colliding up there, and we can help bring them down earlier from dusty because i wouldn't want someone else to get this business uses business him and others 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, what god get up and begins working. 30 seconds to go. for just about 20 seconds we have left off our old pole. ah no. and we did hear the call to hold the um its a, they stopped 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 any day that's going to do it for us. they canceled it today. yeah, no, really? yeah. it's a, it's a gone is gone us just a few seconds before launch an aircraft straight into the safety zone around the rocket 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 boy the international space station the i assess, the risk to human life is greater than anywhere else 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 actually look at it. and do you feel like yet 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 capitol 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 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 egg. 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. distant victories this knowledge. while this, i'm gonna quote 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 um 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. but 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, we're working somewhere else on that one day. the company existence, then it's gone. that's normal and some other. 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 euro there was no, 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 isn't through the other for the full name was your constellation? yes, planning one. i know this to list him all. you'll make one his. you're leading the way of us, blah. but what plans do you have to make your constellation disappear again? his minute of leave out that we did? sure. it'd be the orbit of 2 years after its operating life at the latest, where it talks about that we didn't. i'm good please. yeah, it's my yeah, 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 fine. uh, 25300, a sale area, a 5 to 7 square meters on the steve about maybe the race is on to secure the best places in space. starling is the furthest along with its mega constellation,

several 1000 and the $30000.00 plan satellites are already in operation. amazon is working on the copa 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 that who's responsible for di orbiting your btn, who pays the personnel to issue the command. and if it stops working, who intervenes? i, stakeholders agree. 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 hand segment should be count on always

getting our data from these places from the isn't lend on in class evil 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 arrow space industry is growing. some of the small startups from 5 years ago are now big players. does this close to charlotte? 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 been tasked on the fucking diabolic. i hopefully 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 daniel dazzle 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 hotel the where the looks of mock really do. we feel like here perhaps this time leo, not huffman. we'll 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 live pictures again from cape canaveral. oh that even 6 via the dye dye. by there it was pretty down room 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 guy 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 mm hm. yeah. they're they're like, you know, on your, 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 and there 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 would just, 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 it's different. he says, satellite control center in darmstadt, 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. those is the sentinel toys for this coming

close as well to when is it also on 3 door to the earth observation satellite center. no one could collide with a rocket booster if it remains on its current path and debris 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 high time for something to be done. so 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 profit come together here, that's half the battle duncan, my actually, 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

go india. the waste from this crop is a major pollution, but it could soon become a solution. because this entrepreneur is turning it into eco friendly, brick with lots of benefit to they are cheap, they provide better insulation and they capture carbon dioxide a 30 minutes on d w with ah

ah ah ah, this is dw in is alive from berlin, italy declares a 6 month state of emergency over migration, human rights group say that it is a pretext to send refugees back in violation of international obligations that is as thousands of people are rescues from the mediterranean.
