ISRO Avoids Satellite Collisions with Maneuvers
ISRO, India's space agency, works like a traffic controller in space, preventing satellites from crashing.
They do this by performing maneuvers to avoid potential collisions.
In 2024, ISRO performed 10 such maneuvers.
They also manage space debris by removing old satellites.
This helps keep space safe for everyone.
ISRO performed 10 Collision Avoidance Manoeuvres (CAMs) in 2024.
ISRO conducted 122 CAMs for Earth-orbiting satellites between 2010 and 2024.
The reduction in CAMs in 2024 is attributed to improved analysis methods.
By the end of 2024, India launched 136 spacecraft.
Nine Indian satellites re-entered the atmosphere in 2024.
