On 10 February this year, a defunct Russian communications satellite crashed into an American commercial spacecraft, generating thousands of pieces of orbiting debris.
At the time, some observers put the odds of such an event occurring at millions, maybe billions, to one.
But experts had been warning for years that useable space was becoming crowded, boosting the possibility of a serious collision.
They have argued both for better monitoring of the space environment and for policies aimed at controlling the production of debris.
