37、scopes, which enabled them to identify space junk more effectively than previous techniques. after improving the pointing accuracy of the telescope through a neural network(神經(jīng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)), space debris with a cross sectional area of one square meter at a distance of 1,500 kilometers can he detected, tianming

38、 ma, an author of the study from the chinese academy of surveying and mapping, said in a statement.according to nasa, orbital debris is any man-made object in orbit around the earth that no longer serves a useful function. debris can include non-functional spacecraft, abandoned launch vehicle stages

39、, and other mission-related space junk. it poses a significant risk to astronauts and spacecraft in orbit above the earth as it travels very fast-up to 18, 000 miles per hour, which is faster than a bullet. worryingly, there are estimated to be many millions of tiny debris pieces in low-earth orbit,

40、 and tens of thousands times larger than a softball, the space agency said. fortunately, there have been surprisingly few collisions.in the study, ma and his team used two different neural networks to help identify space debris with the laser-ranging telescope. they then tested this method against m
