Indian Space Surveillance

Indian Space Surveillance refers to the set of activities and technologies employed by India to monitor and track objects in space, including both natural celestial bodies (like satellites and meteoroids) and artificial satellites or debris. This undertaking is crucial for ensuring the safety and security of Indian space assets, as well as for maintaining the sustainability of space operations by managing space debris. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plays a pivotal role in space surveillance, often utilizing ground-based radar systems, telescopes, and advanced sensors to gather data on the orbital positions and trajectories of various objects in space. This capability helps in collision avoidance and contributes to the overall knowledge of the space environment, supporting both civilian and military applications.
