Cosmic Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A review of publications on the problems of monitoring of clogging near-Earth space by natural space debris, including hazardous meteoroids, using methods of optical meteor astronomy is carried out. Both observation methods and methods for estimating the danger from natural space debris for spacecraft are analyzed.
