SpaceX Crew-1 Trunk’s problem! Why space debris keep falling out of the sky?
Since the dawn of the space age in the 1950s, we have launched thousands of rockets and sent even more satellites into orbit.
That, unfortunately, transformed the space above us into a junkyard with countless objects from tiny screws and bolts to dead satellites surrounding the Earth.
What happens when things falling out of the sky aren’t raindrops but space junk?
Two recent space debris events offer a good reminder that what goes up often does come down.
One of them is SpaceX.
That must have made Elon Musk and SpaceX ponder.
So what exactly happened?
And does Musk have any plans to change this status?
All this and more in today’s episode of Great SpaceX!
SpaceX Crew-1 Trunk’s problem! Why space debris keep falling out of the sky?
Reports also emerged this weekend of debris found in New South Wales, in the southeastern part of Australia.
Three pieces of debris were eventually recovered and linked to the “trunk” of the Crew-1 spacecraft launched by SpaceX in November 2020. One of the pieces was about three meters long, and the debris was said to fall to the ground in the remote area on July 9.
The Dragon trunk provides power to the spacecraft during flight from its solar panels and also houses unpressurized cargo. The spacecraft sheds the trunk shortly before a deorbit burn, and it then spends about one year in orbit before returning to Earth, finally being dragged down by the upper edge of the atmosphere. SpaceX has not provided specific information about the mass of the trunk, but it is likely 3 to 4 metric tons.

The trunk is the only part of SpaceX’s current launch and spacecraft fleet that is not recovered—such as the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket and its payload fairing—or safely deorbited into the ocean. There is no propulsive capability on the trunk to control where it reenters Earth’s orbit.
Dragon trunks returning to Earth are not as egregious a problem as the Long March 5B rocket, each of which is the largest piece of uncontrolled space debris to return to Earth since NASA’s Skylab space station scattered debris across the Indian Ocean and Western Australia in 1979.
