Space debris from Indian satellite: NASA’s worry, and why risk is low


The ISS, or any other satellite for that matter, is constantly at risk from space debris. Bridenstine also said that the probability of the ISS having to undertake a DAM because of the Indian satellite debris was “very low”. ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) does not have the resources or the capability to track space debris. These were all carried out much before space debris became a serious concern for the major space-faring countries. The second biggest source of space debris was a rare collision between two spacecraft.
