Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC)

The Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) is an international organization formed by major space agencies to monitor, study, and manage space debris—discarded satellites, rocket parts, and other leftover fragments in Earth's orbit. Its goal is to develop guidelines and share information to prevent collisions, reduce debris creation, and promote responsible space operations. By coordinating efforts globally, IADC helps protect current satellites and future space activities, ensuring the sustainability of space as a valuable shared resource.
