  • Space debris and orbital congestion

    Space debris and orbital congestion
    2024/11/28
    1. Space debris and orbital congestion are increasingly critical issues, threatening the functionality of satellites vital for global infrastructure. The podcast details the escalating problem, highlighting the potential for a catastrophic "Kessler Syndrome" where collisions create a cascading effect of debris.
    2. Solutions discussed include responsible satellite lifecycle management, improved Space Situational Awareness (SSA) systems for collision avoidance, and active debris remediation technologies currently under development by various public and private entities. The urgent need for international collaboration and sustainable practices to mitigate these risks is emphasized.
