ISRO is taking steps to reduce space debris and manage rising congestion from satellite internet constellations, Minister Jitendra Singh told the Rajya Sabha on August 13. The agency’s Debris Free Space Mission includes Active Debris Removal (ADR) and end-of-life disposal measures. Singh noted that small untrackable debris can cause mission-ending damage. India participates in international forums like the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee and UN-COPUOS. The minister stressed that international cooperation and indigenous capabilities are both needed for long-term space sustainability.
