read the text.
orbital debris is a fancy name for the junk that orbits earth. abandoned launch vehicles are examples of orbital debris. this space junk can collide with spacecraft and poses particular risks to the international space station (iss). as a result, nasa tracks space junk as it orbits earth. to protect against pieces of debris that are smaller than a half inch, the iss has debris shields. for larger pieces of debris, however, nasa follows a set of guidelines. sometimes astronauts are aware of the debris in advance. when this is the case, nasa may avoid collisions by slightly moving the iss. other times, large debris makes a surprise approach. in this case, the crew may respond by moving into the soyuz spacecraft, which serves as a lifeboat in case of emergency.
match the problems with their solutions.
shields offer protection. the iss crew enters the soyuz.
the iss changes location.
problem solution
small debris can damage the iss.
large debris can be seen heading toward the iss.
large debris may not be detected in time.
- For "Small debris can damage the ISS", the text mentions that for debris smaller than a half - inch, NASA uses debris shields. So the solution "Shields offer protection" matches.
- For "Large debris can be seen heading toward the ISS", when astronauts are aware of debris in advance (like large debris that can be seen), NASA moves the ISS slightly. So the solution "The ISS changes location" matches.
- For "Large debris may not be detected in time", when large debris makes a surprise approach (not detected in time), the crew respond by moving into the Soyuz. So the solution "The ISS crew enters the Soyuz" matches.
