Abstract |
|
Space debris is non-functional man-made objects in earth’s orbit. Their number has increased tremendously and this can be attributed to the number of space launches in the last few decades. Their increasing growth has become a threat to the operational satellites and space crafts. This paper makes a survey of the threats posed by space debris and creates an urge to mitigate them. The paper also makes a review of the detection schemes employed to detect the space debris in order to build models to determine their orbits and to keep track of their population. |
