NASA scientists were searching for ways to clean up the orbiting debris left from nuclear powered satellites and wreckage from anti-satellite weapons testing. Considering the high speed of orbiting craft, scientists reported that even a fleck of paint could be dangerous, the probable culprit that caused a cracked windshield in the seventh U.S. Shuttle flight.
