The advancement of technology has made mankind achieve numerous events that were initially thought to be impractical. The interplanetary Mars missions from various space organisations have placed a ray of hope for human life expansion on other planets. NASA\u2019s Ingenuity Mars helicopter mission is a recent example of the success of the technical improvements. The usage of space for the development of humanity has gradually increased in the current generation. As every advancement has advantages and disadvantages, the desire to utilise space has posed the problem of Space debris which is a significant burden in the upcoming years that poses a serious threat to humankind.<\/p>
Space debris, also known as space junk\/waste, which is gaining identification as space pollution, is an obsolete human-built object in space, primarily in Earth orbit, that has achieved its purposes and is no longer functional. The source of space debris includes: non-operating spacecraft, discarded launch vehicle stages, mission-related debris, and fragmentation debris from the destruction of derelict rocket bodies and spacecraft. In addition to abandoned artificial objects remaining in orbit, other instances of space debris include pieces from things breakdown, erosion, and impacts, or even paint specks, solidified liquids ejected from spacecraft, and unburned fragments from solid rocket motors.<\/p>
