ISRO launches new system for space observation and debris management

As India takes more steps forward to combat the problem of space debris, around 60 new startups have registered with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) since the “unlocking of space sector”.

Many of them are working in debris management, said Jitender Singh, Union Minister of State, Science and Technology, Atomic Energy and Space on Monday, while inaugurating the ISRO system for safe and sustainable space operations management (IS4OM) at ISRO Control Centre, in Peenya.

The new facility will help the country in space situational awareness (SSA) and space traffic management.
