Space Surveillance and Tracking: how IT is minimizing the threat of space debris

Space debris has increased exponentially in recent decades with the progress of many countries’ space sectors and rise in satellite launches. This rising population of ‘space junk’ — including broken pieces of artificial satellites and wreckage from rockets — poses new challenges and a real danger to citizens and space infrastructure.
