Series 4

In this episode of In-Orbit, we’re discussing space debris and the challenges it presents to the space sector.

There are many layers to consider when talking about space debris, including where it comes from, how it impacts future space missions and satellites, as well as clean up technologies and legal implications. Do we need regulations in place to ensure space debris doesn’t affect our ability to explore space in the future?
