Shreyas: Is ISRO Contributing To Space Junk With It's 104 Satellites?

In the year 2018 India was a lot in the news. Can you guess why? It was because that year India had launched 104 satellites in one go and had created a world record.

Me being a fan of space and related developments, I was very excited and would want to congratulate all the scientists for it. It was a great news for ISRO as it had achieved a milestone, but every coin has two sides and this problem also has a darker side.

Space missions have been around for a century and have created a lot of space debris. Now with the launch of 104 satellites we have added a lot more debris. Some countries have been carrying out Anti-Satellite Tests but they are not for clearing the debris as breaking a satellite into more parts results in more junk.

A recent test was carried out to use a harpoon to pull out junk and just throw it somewhere. This test did not clear the derbies but it was the first step in achieving the goal of clearing the junk that we have created with our own hands.

Space junk is not only a threat to the future space missions but also to the life on the earth as someday the debris might fall on earth itself. I believe that we should really think of a more practical means to clean the space junk that we created.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN).
