How dangerous is space junk?

Even tiny pieces of space junk, like a paint fleck, can cause significant damage to satellites or spacecraft due to their extremely high orbital speeds. A collision could disable vital communication or navigation satellites, creating even more debris and a cascading problem known as the Kessler Syndrome. This mission aims to prevent such scenarios.
