Palliation of Space Debris--A Need to Clean Environment

Abstract

Space Debris is the waste or junk which have been left behind by human in space that no longer serves a useful purpose. It could be form of defunct satellites, discarded equipments, and rocket stages. It destroys satellite because due to its very high speed in orbit even relatively small pieces can damage or destroy satellites in a collision. For several decades, orbital debris has been identified as a serious concern. This debris is very dangerous in space especially for the future space mission. As there is the risk of high energy collisions with valuable space crafts. It have been understood that the current space debris environment poses a risk to space craft in earth orbit. As the population of debris continues to grow, the probability of collisions that could lead to potential damage will consequently increase. In addition, there is also the risk of damage on the ground if debris survives Earth‘s atmospheric re-entry. The prompt implementation if appropriate debris mitigation measures are therefore considered a prudent and necessary step towards preserving the outer space environment for future
