27、 the sky, which are designed to move around the Earth only a few hundred kilometres above its surface. SpaceX and OneWeb plan to launch LEO satellites in their thousands, not hundreds, to double the total number of satellites in orbit by 2027.That promises to change things on Earth. LEO satellites c

28、an bring Internet connectivity to places where it is still unavailable. This will also be a source of new demand for the space economy. Morgan Stanley, a bank, projects that the space industry will grow from $350 billion in 2016 to more than $1.1 trillion by 2040. New Internet satellites will accoun

29、t for half this increase.For that to happen, however, three worries must be overcome. Debris (碎片) is the most familiar concern. As long ago as 1978, Donald Kessler, a scientist at NASA, proposed a scenario (设想) in which,when enough satellites were packed into low-Earth orbits, any collision could ca

30、use a chain reaction which would eventually destroy all spacecraft in its orbital plane. Solutions exist. One solution is to grab the satellites with problems and pull them down into the Earths atmosphere. Another is to monitor space more closely for debris. But technology is only part of the answer

31、. Rules are needed to deal with old satellites safely from low-Earth orbits.Cyber-security is a second, long-standing worry. Hackers could take control of a satellite and steal intellectual property, redirect data flows or cause a collision. The satellite industry has been slow to respond to such co

32、ncerns. But as more of the worlds population comes to rely on space for access to the Internet, the need for action intensifies. Measures will surely be taken to protect network security.The third issue follows from the first two. If a simple mistake or a cyber-attack can cause a chain reaction whic

33、h wipes out hundreds of billions of dollars of investment, who is responsible for that? Now the plans of firms, wishing to operate large numbers of satellites are being studied. But there is a long way to go before the risks are well understood, let alone priced.As space becomes more commercialized,

34、 mind-bending prospects open up: packages moved across the planet in minutes by rocket rather than by plane, equipment sent to other small planets, passengers launched into orbit and beyond. All that and more may come one day. But such activities would raise the same questions as LEO satellites do.

35、They must be answered before the space economy can truly develop.28. What can we learn about LEO satellites from the passage?A. They will limit the space economyB. They will increase in large numbers.C. They will move beyond the Earth as far as possible.D. They will monitor old satellites.29. What m

36、ight be one of the purposes of launching LEO satellites?A. To avoid network attack.B. To make the Internet accessible to backward areas.C. To lighten the financial burden of space firms.D. To accelerate the development of bank industry.30. According to Kessler, an accidental collision could _.A. blo
