Since the commencement of human-driven space activities in 1950s, hundreds of rockets, spaceships and satellites have been launched into space. Most of such objects, or parts of them, never made it back into our atmosphere and kept on rotating uncontrolled around the globe, posing a serious threat to our daily lives by hitting and deviating satellites which we all rely on. Although claim handlers might look at this as an opportunity, this is a serious hazard to both operators and end-users.

Imagine watching the final World Cup match and a second before the decisive penalty kick is shot, the satellite TV system loses its signal. Or imagine yourself exploring a new holiday destination, the one you have been dreaming about for months and months, planning every little aspect of your itinerary through the city when in the midst of it, such itinerary is disrupted because suddenly your online map application logs you out notwithstanding a functioning internet connection.
