Emmet Fletcher, Space Surveillance and Tracking Manager at ESA talks about the dangers of space debris, how they track it, and what can be done to minimise it in future. Recorded in Rovaniemi, Finland as part of the #ESAAurora event.

#ESAAurora A nice informal chat with Jarmo Korteniemi about studying the best places to land on the Moon, and whether, knowing what we know now, we would still choose the same spots that the Apollo programme opted for.

Juha Pekka Luntama explains what "space weather" is, what causes it and how we can forecast it. The problems it can cause - and what's the space equivalent of an umbrella?
