Fengyun 1C debris a threat to EVA
With the recent news that the tracked debris count from F1C has risen to over 300 pieces .... and unofficial
estimates that there may be tens of thousands of bits out there , I'm wondering what level of threat this poses to the forthcoming EVAs ?
At least one piece of debris has already come within a few kilometres of the station. Does anyone know if there are any contingency
measures in place to minimise the risk to the crew ?
