At least three old satellites or rocket bodies fall back to Earth every day, a new report reveals.
Experts warn that the number of objects returning from space is set to increase, a possible concern for the health of Earth 's atmosphere and for the safety of humans on the ground.
The amount of space debris increased over the course of 2024 , with an estimated 45,700 objects now orbiting the planet.
There are about 1.1 million fragments between 0.4 and 4 inches in size and a further 130 million tiny bits smaller than 0.3 inches .
In some parts of LEO , the number of functional satellites now approaches the quantity of space debris objects, ESA said in a report.
