NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, currently tracks 13,000 man-made objects in space on a continual basis, of which only 6 percent are satellites. The endless monitoring is carried out by the 1st Space Control Squadron of the U.S. Air Force`s Space Command in Colorado Springs, Colo.
The amount of debris, in fact, is far larger than that.
"Space Command only tracks objects larger than a baseball," Theresa Hitchens, director of the Center for Defense Information in Washington, told United Press International. "But there are between 100,000 and 200,000 pieces of space debris it doesn`t track between the size of a baseball and a marble -- and there are literally millions of smaller bios of debris than that."
