Abstract

The article discusses the increased number of space satellites which in turn is leading to space congestion and orbital debris especially the Earth observation Satellites launched in the Satellite Constellation which is posing major challenges. It further highlights government intervention which would help mitigate space traffic management, mega-constellations being responsible for orbital congestion and a plan to be made in place for Satellite de-orbiting.
