The activities of man in space environment
have resulted in several disused satellites, rockets, and
fragments of these and other machines being littered
over the Earth’s orbit thereby interfering with the
smooth operations of active and useful spaced based
technologies. In this paper we reviewed relevant
literatures in order to comprehend the meaning, sources,
categories and impact of Space debris. The paper also
identifies solution being proffered by various nations and
researchers. From the review we found that more needs
to be done because of some limitations. The review is
aimed at creating awareness and adding to existing
literatures on the subject.
