Orbital debris refers to man-made objects in space that no longer serve a purpose. This includes defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, and fragments from collisions. It poses a significant risk to operational spacecraft. The accumulation of such debris raises concerns about space safety and sustainability. Effective management strategies are essential to mitigate potential hazards in Earth's orbit.
Millions of micrometeoroids and fragments of orbital debris constantly zip around Earth at hypervelocities, posing an invisible but persistent threat to satellites and human spaceflight. The risk returned...
