Talk on space debris held at Desh Bhagat University

A talk on critical issue of space debris by renowned space scientist and expert in Aerospace engineering, Rajinder Kumar Verma was organised at Desh Bhagat University (DBU).

The event attracted students, faculty members, and space enthusiasts alike, offering a deep dive into the growing problem of space debris and its implications for future space exploration and satellite communication. The expert opened the session by explaining the phenomenon of space debris-non-functional satellites, spent rocket stages, and fragments from collisions or disintegration orbiting the Earth. He emphasized how the increasing volume of debris in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) poses significant risks to operational satellites and manned space missions, potentially leading to catastrophic collisions.

Speaking on the occasion Chancellor of Desh Bhagat University, Dr Zora Singh said, "This enlightening session has opened our eyes to the urgent need for addressing space debris. Mr. Verma’s expertise will surely inspire our students to contribute meaningfully to the aerospace industry."

Pro Chancellor Dr Tejinder Kaur added her valuable insights on the global issue.
