A new 3D IMAX film explores a troubling legacy of more than five decades of lofting satellites into space.
Space Junk 3D takes the viewer on a voyage of challenges: How best to face the increasingly crowded Earth orbits that are littered with speeding and dangerous debris.
For you teachers out there: A K-12 Educator’s Guide includes supplemental information and activities to help extend the learning experience associated with watching Space Junk.

Space Junk challenges students to imagine solutions to the problems we now face in space.
While the film’s message is a cautionary tale, it also seeks to inspire a new age of innovation. Today’s K-12 students are tomorrow’s scientists and engineers who will forge the future of space exploration and discovery. The Guide also includes hands-on activities―including the one presented here―and a complete presentation of how the film can be used to support classroom learning in context with the National Science Education Standards.
