ISRO develops system to safeguard space assets
NELLORE: For protecting its growing number of satellites from risk of collisions in space, the Indian Space Research Organisation has developed a System for Safe and Sustainable Operations Management. IS4OM is ISRO’s holistic approach to ensure safety of India’s space assets, thereby sustaining utilisation of outer space for national development. According to an Isro statement, safe, sustainable and effective management of outer space activities is of paramount importance to ensure that outer space remains utilisable for future generations of humankind. Isro has already been taking necessary measures to safeguard all its space assets from intentional and accidental close approaches by space objects, including operational spacecraft and space debris objects. The multi-domain awareness platform will bring prompt, accurate and efficient information on on-orbit collision, fragmentation, atmospheric re-entry risk, and cataloguing of observational data, hazards and space weather forecast, ISRO officials disclosed.
