Young adult, Amber Yang, is tackling the problem of space junk, which seems insurmountable. What is space junk? It is the debris caused by space crafts and satellites. On earth, average people don’t recognize it. Yang created a program that can precisely track the positions of space junk far out into space, in fact  the software is nearly 100% accurate. (“About Amber Young,” n.d.). A recipient of the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award, her programs are astoundingly more accurate than NASA’s offerings. She formed a startup company called SEER in conjunction with Stanford University. However, she started this project in high school.When a sparecraft comes into contact with floating space debris, its possible for collisions of up to 30 thousand miles per hour, essentially tearing holes in the spacecraft. Her research and company launch will undoubtedly help spacecrafts avoid catastrophic damage, as space debris can cause fatalities and major damage to satellites.
