As the number of objects launched into orbit grows, the EU is working to prevent debris from getting out of hand.
The number of satellites in space may exceed 100,000 by 2030, according to
The downstream market of the Global Navigation Satellite System, or GNSS, will grow from €199 billion in 2021 to €492 billion in 2031, according to theIn 2009, the first known accidental collision between two satellites presaged a potentially perilous future. The crash involving an Iridium 33 and Cosmos 2251 satellite released thousands of pieces of debris into space.
The system comprises four telescopes that rotate in coordination with objects' transit time in the field of view. Software processes data to generate collision alerts for space operators. The coordinator, Professor Massimiliano Vasile, argues for a far-reaching approach for preventing collisions even before delving deeper into debris removal.
"The problem is increasing much faster than what people might have expected," said Vasile."And it has grown largely unregulated, as airspace on Earth can be confined quite easily but you don't have territorial space in space. Institutions are trying to catch up."
