Abstract The European Space Agency has put together a working group of European scientists in the space debris field with the objective to submit a report which is to appear by the end of 1988. The report will deal with the available data on space debris, the situation in low earth orbits and in the geostationary orbit and with the risks posed on ground by re-entering space objects. It will also cover preventive measures and legal aspects. Data and methods used by European investigators and the results obtained are reviewed in this paper.
