How Can We Prevent Satellite Satellites play a crucial role in our modern world, providing essential services such as communication, navigation, weather monitoring, and scientific research. However, the growing number of satellites in orbit has raised concerns about space debris and the risk of collisions. So, how can we prevent satellite collisions and ensure the sustainability of space activities? Satellite collisions can have serious consequences, including the generation of thousands of pieces of space debris that can pose a threat to other satellites and spacecraft. With the increasing commercialization of space and the deployment of mega-constellations of small satellites, the risk of collisions is only expected to grow. So, what measures can be taken to prevent satellite collisions and protect the long-term sustainability of space activities? One way to prevent satellite collisions is through improved space traffic management. This involves tracking the positions and trajectories of satellites and other space objects to identify potential collision risks and take evasive actions. However, with the growing number of satellites in orbit, the current space surveillance infrastructure may not be sufficient to effectively monitor all space activities. So, how can we enhance space traffic management to prevent satellite collisions and minimize the generation of space debris?
