【 摘 要 】

In this work is presented a brief review about the main events generating of space debris around the Earth, occurred up to the present day. How the clouds of debris "polluted" the neighborhood of orbits in which the bodies were initially allocated is here analyzed. The implications of the growth of space debris existing on space missions as well as safety rules to control sources of debris are discussed.
