Space debris are all man-made objects in orbit about the Earth that no lorger serve a useful purpose. Since Sputnik in October 1957, more than 7205 satellites have been launched and about 200 satellites have exploded, either accidentally or on purpose, and have provoked the dramatic increase of space debris population. The question that needs to be answered is what is going to happen with space debris in the near future. In this talk, I will present the last research concerning the models used to determine the orbit evolution of space debris, the new methods to predict space debris collision assessment, and the novel idea of the creation of a synthetic population of space debris.
