3. Space Debris
Space debris (also known as space junk, space
pollution, space waste, space trash, or space
garbage) is defunct artificial objects in
space—principally in Earth orbit—which no
longer serve a useful function. ... Space debris
represents a risk to spacecraft
4. Target of Our Project
● Provide a general overview on what is space debris
● Discussing the dangers hat space debris poses not Isto space explorers. but also to the general public.
● Presenting the currently suggested methods of space debris management
● Discussing and putting forward our own suggested methods of space debris management.
● Outline the authorization and work with industry to ensure missions are conducted with safety,
transparency, and the public interest in mind.

6. How to manage
Nowadays, satellite operators try to reduce space debris from recently launched
satellites and rocket bodies by carefully designing them to prevent explosions,
reentering them, or moving them to disposal orbits — essentially a space junkyard —
when their mission is over.
7. The Problem of Space Debris
Space debris affects everyone especially since almost everything we do in our modern way of
life uses satellite technology. Space debris adds to the cost of operating satellites because if
debris destroys a satellite, it may take years and hundreds of millions of dollars to restore that
satellite's service. Even tiny debris objects can inflict grave harm to critical sensors and
spacecraft components. A one-centimeter-sized object is considered lethal if it hits a satellite
and an object down to one millimeter can critically damage a satellite if it hits a critical
component. In addition, the growth in space debris will make orbit operations and space
flight more hazardous, difficult and more costly if frequent maneuvers are required to avoid
debris. A satellite would have to carry extra fuel for these extra maneuvers and would likely
need to shield critical areas from collisions with small debris.

9. Techniques to Reduce the Future Debris Hazard
Debris
● MINIMIZING THE REALEASE OF MISSION-RELATED OBJECTS
● SAFEGUARDING THE PHYSICAL INTEGRITY OF ROCKET BODIES AND SPACECRAFT
● REDUCING THE CREATION OF DEBRIS FROM DEGRADATION
● REDUCING THE CREATION OF DEBRIS FROM COLLISIONS
