Estrella Martin · Answer 1

Answer: the correct answer is d. It locates old satellites, lost equipment, and space-related garbage.

Explanation: Debris can be dangerous for satellites or spacecraft that's why more than 500,000 pieces of debris, or "space junk," are tracked as they orbit the Earth. They all travel at speeds up to 17,500 mph.

The ODO's main mission would be answer D. It was owned by NASA up until 2003, I do believe. It is now privately owned.
