Satellites like the Hubble Space Telescope and International Space Station face the threat of a meteor storm which is expected to be the strongest in a decade.

Hubble Space Telescope is a space telescope that was brought into space by the shuttle in April 1990. These telescopes took the name of the American astronomer Edwin Hubble.

Astronomers in the United States Space Agency (NASA) estimates that the meteor storm will occur for seven hours on the next year could hit satellites in space and damage the electronic equipment inside the spacecraft.

NASA scientists said the storm that contains the comet debris will produce a spectacular sight for those who like to see the stars in the sky.

NASA said the storm that passes through the Earth’s orbit around the sun every October came from a meteor shower called Draconids. Draconids name was taken because of the meteor-meteor was flowing from the direction of Draco star map. Rain was also named Giacobinids for taking the name of the comet that threw them, Giacobini-Zinner.

The scientists at NASA claimed not to know how serious the impact of the storm. But the operator space planes had been told to develop a defense mechanism.

NASA also is currently considering to move the international space station and the Hubble Space Telescope to an area which is likely not affected by the storm.

Of space travel can also be prohibited until the threat of a meteor storm ends.

Besides the physical threat when the storm hit directly, the static electric field waves from these storms can burn up vital electronic equipment.

Usually low-intensity storms every year, but could rise drastically every 13 years when the earth through the densest regions in the flow.

The highest intensity occurred in 1933 when a storm took out 54 thousand meteors per hour. Meanwhil, in 1946, it carried 10 thousand meteors.

Most number of meteor storm in 1998 which appear in hundreds every hour.

Dr. William Cooke of NASA’s meteoroid Environment Office in Alabama said it had prepared anticipatory steps to avoid problems caused by the storm.

According to predictions from computer programs Cooke concluded hundreds of meteors an hour can be seen from the earth on October 8 next year.

“Before, we did not know what was happening. Now we could feel more relieved, “says Cooke. “We’ve been working with NASA to overcome the risks to the spacecraft.
