in the desert region of the Pacific Ocean is the so-called graveyard of spaceships (48 ° 52'S. M. And 123 ° 23 's. E.) - Point Nemo, named it in honor of the well-known literary hero adventure-fiction worksJules Verne (another name - Pole of Inaccessibility).The nearest land - a small atoll Ducie - is in 2688 km north of Point Nemo.It was here, under a layer of ocean waves, they have found their last refuge 145 "progress" of the Russian Federation, the space truck 4 and 5 Japanese HTV cargo automatic kosmokorabley ATV, belonging to the European Space Agency.Also, the cemetery holds the remains of the spacecraft 6 "Salute" and the space station "Mir".
Without reuse
Naturally, none of the space station (or spaceship) does not rest in the Pacific safely, all of them have been absorbed by a layer of water in the form of large individual fragments.For most spacecraft contact with the atmosphere is extremely detrimental, they are not especially effective thermal protection is set, unlike piloted reentry modules.Spacecraft cemetery in the Pacific Ocean has taken into its bosom those orbital space station and trucks that initially no one was planning to return to Earth for reuse.These spaceships, once in the lower dense layers of the Earth's atmosphere, destroyed and burned.But some fragments reach the earth's surface, so the designation of the area disposal of decommissioned ships and low-Earth orbit ("spacecraft cemetery") is justified and appropriate.
Incidents
History Points Nemo has two emergency.In 1979, the wreckage of the US space station "Skylab", reaching a conditional square waters hit the western part of mainland Australia.And in 1991, the remains of the Russian orbital station "Salyut -7" fell partly on the territory of Argentina.Fortunately, both the case of unforeseen cost without significant destruction and casualties.Spacecraft cemetery - a dangerous neighborhood.That is why in the early spring of 2001, during the decommissioning of the space station "Mir", the government of Japan, Australia and Fiji urged its citizens to refrain from trips and take refuge indoors.
Disposal kosmomusora
annually graveyard of spaceships in the Pacific replenished several dozen spacecraft.According to experts, the international community adopted the practice of disposing of debris with the help of cargo ships not to cause appreciable harm to the ecology of the planet.Flooded subject stations and ships, to develop their resources, their compartments loaded waste of life of participants space missions and other debris.Typically, the surface waters of the Pacific Ocean reach some refractory elements of the ship (most completely burn in the dense layers of the atmosphere), which dropped after immersion to a depth of 4 kilometers.
«Cemetery» UFO
After getting regular pictures rover Curiousity sent to the Red Planet, most UFO enthusiasts interested resurfaces strange craters on the Martian surface.After careful study, they made a number of assumptions about their origin.One version says the public is that these craters are traces of alien spaceships landing - this notifies blog UFO Sightings Daily.According to one of the participants of the analysis, these craters have been found on the Moon before.At the same anomalies on our natural satellite, also failed to find a logical explanation.In the unanimous opinion of ufologists found relief forms of artificial origin and represent a unique space launch or graveyard of spaceships.Photos submitted to the public continues to be published on the blog UFO.According to another version, discovered depressions are nothing more than a repair shop, where UFOs were serviced.But the hypothesis that the rover Curiousity filmed cemetery spacecraft on Mars has become very popular.
asteroid Vesta
in the asteroid belt located between Jupiter and Mars, discovered a celestial body with a diameter exceeding 550 km.This asteroid called Vesta, scientists, according to one popular hypothesis, is a remnant of destroying the planet Phaeton, once inhabited by intelligent beings.About a year ago, to his rather short distance crept automatic probe "Dawn" (USA), and a collection of NASA supplemented by detailed and vivid pictures of the surface.UFOlogists, examining the pictures, found some interesting, strange objects on the surface of Vesta.The photographs allegedly depicted dilapidated disk-shaped UFO, partially hidden under a layer of soil, the similarity of the aircraft and other strange designs.Scientists have no reason to believe that these objects have a terrestrial origin.Rather, it traces of civilization that existed Chaise cemetery or another UFO.The fact is that experts have found a flying structure, very different from each other, it allowed them to assume that the ships belong to different extraterrestrial civilizations.So not only found on Mars Spacecraft cemetery, but on the far West.
destiny fiction
however unlikely in the near future of humanity will be able to learn more details about the artifacts found.A manned expedition to Mars and Vesta is sending no one is going.All hypotheses remain the lot of science fiction.
