Russia to build laser cannon to vaporize space debris

The video discusses the presence of space debris outside Earth's atmosphere, with most debris being marble-sized and some as large as softballs. A three-meter optical telescope is being developed to monitor space satellites and detect dangerous debris. This telescope may eventually be converted into a laser cannon using laser ablation to eliminate debris by heating and evaporating it.

What is the size of most space debris outside Earth's atmosphere?

• The size of a basketball

• The size of a house

• The size of a marble

• The size of a car

What is the primary purpose of the three-meter optical telescope?

• To study the sun

• To capture images of planets

• To monitor space satellites and detect debris

• To explore distant galaxies

What process will the laser cannon use to remove space debris?

• Laser fusion

• Laser ablation

• Laser cutting

• Laser reflection

What will the optical telescope eventually be transformed into?

• A space shuttle

• A powerful laser cannon

• A satellite

• A space station

How does the laser ablation process work to eliminate debris?

• By compressing the debris

• By heating and piercing the debris until it evaporates

• By reflecting light off the debris

• By freezing the debris
