Space Debris Detection Unit for Spacecrafts

In the 21st century, tackling space debris has become one of the biggest challenges in space Technologies. Based on reports from European Space Agency, around 34,000 objects are found bigger than 10cm poses serious threats to existing space infrastructure. The Estimated number of break-ups, explosions, collisions, or anomalous events resulting in fragmentation is more than 560(information updated on 8th Jan 2021). So, the proposed system can detect space debris from the lower earth orbit and transfer the data to the earth space stations so that the collision avoidance protocol can be activated. Alongside it also determines satellite health status which helps in identifying changes in spacecraft like atmospheric pressure and malfunction of sensors also providing relevant information about the outer space.
