Satellite technology involves the design, construction, and operation of satellites that orbit the Earth or other celestial bodies. These satellites are used for various applications, including communication, weather monitoring, navigation, and scientific research.
Space debris refers to defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, and other fragments resulting from collisions or disintegration in orbit. This debris poses a significant risk to operational satellites and the International Space Station, as even small pieces can cause catastrophic damage due to their high velocities.
