Debris Tracking and Reporting Center (DTRO)

The Debris Tracking and Reporting Center (DTRO) is a system that monitors and manages space debris—like defunct satellites and fragments from collisions—in Earth's orbit. It collects data from various sensors and satellites to track the location and movement of debris. This information helps space agencies and satellite operators avoid collisions, ensuring the safety of active spacecraft and satellites. The DTRO also reports on debris trends and provides situational awareness to support space traffic management and safety protocols.
