Spacecraft in the Pacific Ocean

In the Pacific Ocean there is a cemetery of space vehicles, whose missions are completed, according to scientific journals.
This isolated place in the ocean has the code name "Point Nemo" and is located 2,700 kilometers from the nearest land.
The remains of 260 planes, mostly Russians, were buried there, the first of which was there in 1971. In this way, the amount of larger pieces of space waste decreases in orbit.
The distance of this area from land, as well as from waterways and air corridors, allows space agencies to avoid collisions easier.
Smaller satellites burn in the atmosphere, but the larger pieces remain and reach the Earth's surface, experts say.
The cemetery is located in the southern part of the Pacific Ocean, between Australia, New Zealand and Chile. Due to water currents fishermen do not love in that part of the ocean.
Among the space ships "buried" in this area are the remains of the Spaceship rocket, several cargo ships of the European Space Station, and the Soviet space station "Peace".
