Debris Tracking

Debris tracking involves monitoring and managing objects in space, such as defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, and fragments from collisions or disintegrations. Using radar, telescopes, and satellite data, scientists and space agencies identify the location and trajectory of these debris pieces to prevent collisions with active spacecraft and satellites. Effective debris tracking helps maintain space safety, extend the lifespan of space assets, and reduce the risks posed by floating debris orbiting Earth. It’s a crucial part of responsible space operations, ensuring our growing use of space remains sustainable and secure.
