High-Level Project Summary
Garbage in space orbit is becoming a big problem day by day. This problem, defined as a negative externality, affects both governments and private companies within the space sector. Space debris is called satellites and similar spacecraft or parts that have no function seen with telescopes or radars. Collision of these objects, whose total mass exceeds 2.5 tons and whose relative speed reaches 14.66 kilometers per second, can cause a great disaster and turn into a rain of debris.

Detailed Project Description
Garbage in space orbit is becoming a big problem day by day. This problem, defined as a negative externality, affects both governments and private companies within the space sector. Space debris is called satellites and similar spacecraft or parts that have no function seen with telescopes or radars. Collision of these objects, whose total mass exceeds 2.5 tons and whose relative speed reaches 14.66 kilometers per second, can cause a great disaster and turn into a rain of debris. Since the altitudes are about 1000 kilometers, the parts that may occur as a result of the collision can stay in the space for a very long time and damage the active satellites. About 900,000 objects larger than 1 centimeter no longer in orbit are of great concern. Because while they are moving at high speed, it is highly likely that they will cause great damage or even destroy a functional spacecraft. According to the function of the spaceship part that we have started to construct, it is aimed to quickly detect these garbage in space with a special radar system and automation work and to instantly communicate this detection with the epicenter. In addition, this spaceship vehicle, which we call the Space Garbage Machine, aims to instantly destroy and rot the small space debris nearby.
With the SGM product, which we will create by combining a ceramic reinforcement phase to the main structure consisting of metal matrix composite materials, its high durability, thermal shock, radiation, high environmental vacuum resistance and similar features will help us to collect the garbage that has negative risks in space. We will keep the temperature of our engine in balance with the fan system, which is made of composite materials around the product and consists of a structure that combines the high elastic modulus of ceramics and the high ductility of metals. The recycling system we have created in a high-tech province will minimize space garbage and will be used in the fuel of our spaceship.
Space Agency Data
More than 27,000 pieces of orbital debris, or “space junk,” are tracked by the Department of Defense’s global Space Surveillance Network (SSN) sensors. Much more debris -- too small to be tracked, but large enough to threaten human spaceflight and robotic missions -- exists in the near-Earth space environment. Since both the debris and spacecraft are traveling at extremely high speeds (approximately 15,700 mph in low Earth orbit), an impact of even a tiny piece of orbital debris with a spacecraft could create big problems.
On Feb. 10, 2009, a defunct Russian spacecraft collided with and destroyed a functioning U.S. Iridium commercial spacecraft. The collision added more than 2,300 pieces of large, trackable debris and many more smaller debris to the inventory of space junk.
China's 2007 anti-satellite test, which used a missile to destroy an old weather satellite, added more than 3,500 pieces of large, trackable debris and many more smaller debris to the debris problem.
Hackathon Journey
It means dreaming on a ship in a vast space. Then we will decide a solution. Now, with other uses, by designing a vehicle on this journey and cleaning up this garbage that will harm our world and planets! Clean space!
