Show us ya Junk!

[Cargill]

...Space Junk that is.

This link shows Earth's Space Junk and some cool facts:

And heres Mine as of Today:

So post us your Space Junk (view from the tracking sation if possible) and see who is meeting Kerbin Space Enviromental standards (10 pieces per 1,000km2)

P.S Keep the images a reasonable size if your going to post them in your post

Here is the debris in one of my saves, the majority of them are just radial decouplers. If you go into a 270 degree orbit, it starts to feel a bit dangerous, at least 3 pieces of debris fly past every 10 seconds, some coming within the physics sphere.

Edit: Here's some from the save I use now.

And that, kerbinauts; is why we NEVER decouple stages while in parking orbit!

I can't even get an orbit that flat lol let alone multiable craft on the same one.

Awesome would like to fly that line sometimes just to see the debris passing by xD I usually don't drop debris in orbit like doggie015 said. Sometimes when I'm at a 80km roundish orbit with my ascend stage I boost my Ap to as high as possible(saving a little dV), or as high as needed. Then warp to my Ap and brake til my Pe is down to kerbin again, decouple the ascend stage and burn my Pe back to where I want with the NERVA stage. Sometimes do this on mun as well.

In my save the solar system is clean other than debris on the platform from those red detachable strut things

That's amazing. Agreed, it would be awesome fly through that.

Mine is quite empty and before 0.17 it was completely empty. I had my rockets staged so that the stage that just about got me to orbit was released just before an orbit was established. The next stage completed the Kerbin orbit, got me to the Mun or Minmus, and started the deorbit before being released to crash into the moons surface.

However, I haven't found a way to do that when going (read trying) to get to other planets. So now I've got a few random bits floating around the solar system. Big bits mind you. I keep hoping that they'll get captured by a planets gravity and flung off somewhere else or crash, but am I right in thinking this won't happen unless I'm observing it directly?

Could you upload that save file? I would love to fly through all that and see all the stuff whizzing by at huge speeds.

Not sure about that, Some of my debris in kerbin orbit managed to intercept the mun. 2 pieces smashed into the surface, the rest was shot out to interplanetary space. Admittedly I was on the mun at the time. My suspicions were raised when an SRB hit the surface only a couple of kilometres from my landing site

In the film Wall-E when he gose into orbit and you see all the junk, I was like its cartoon they exaggerating, Would seem they wasnt

It goes out further than that a lot further suddenly everyone's rooms are super clean

[Nibb31]

In my rocket designs, Whenever possible, I usually add a RemoTech or MechJeb module to the upper stage so that I can take control and deorbit it. Lower stages take care of themselves. It's a good practice that everything that goes up must come down.

[MeticulousMitch]

A couple days ago I tried to construct a ring of debris around Kerbin, in order to see what would happen when I went into a 270 degree orbit. I made a spacecraft specially designed to release small decouplers as space junk.

Unfortunately, all this debris brought the framerate down to a slideshow, so I had to delete the persistence file and start over.

Yeah it's what I do. But now I design all my stages to either de orbit at Kerbin or Mun

Obv. you havent seen my Man cave then there beer bottles in there from my house warming party 7 yrs ago. I have a sign above the door saying No self respecting Girls aloud

[Markus Reese]

I don't have anything in my current save file of significance. I do remember my old statellite network I had. They were precisely set up (manually I might ad) and had a few close calls over my flights as I crossed orbit paths.

[Cargill]

Cool to see how many people actually care about space Junk they put out lol

[aceassasin]

Wowww my debris field is worse than i thought

[cardgame]

I once had a piece of space junk submerged inside the Mun, it emerged a few kilometers from a landing site and thankfully exploded the next time it hit the surface.

in my .16 i had my de orbiting engines i decoupled ignore the laws of phycics and gained an orbit that took it though the center of the mun and out the other side, and around and around. i could not figure out how or why, but i couldnt get rid of it.

[lucidLemon]

I had some serious problems with junk around my KSC in .16

It got to the point where I had to mechjeb all my take-offs, the lag made my ship uncontrollable when I was KSC.

[VernKerrigan]

I currently have about 6 peices of debris as the evidence of 5 different successful Mun landings, all within 10km of each other, all done manually. The hardest one to get right is decoupling engines during the burn out to the Mun. I purposefully set a collision course with the prograde side of the moon, then detatch my extra engines leaving just a nerva, and a large amount of debris that collides into the moon. I luckily haven't bombed my kerbals doing sciency things over there... yet.

[SBaL]

This is how it currently looks in my save.

The only debris is some pieces from the fairing plates from two of my missions where i failed to aim them in for a Münar crash course.

Although I'm not really bothered with leaving the Münar-injection/interplanetary stage in orbit around the destination. And my landers always leave behind the decent stage on the surface.

But for the most part I try to design vehicles that lets me drop a stage either back to Kerbin, or into the surface of the Mün.

Haven't really gotten to play much though.

Partially because I still don't have a good rocket design which will let me get interplanetary ships in orbit without having half of all the missions fail due to either unstable or underpowered launch-vehicles, and partially because I'm still trying to get a hand on interplanetary rendezvous.

My most crowded save were the one I had in 0.14 though.
