Highlighting India’s institutional engagement on space debris monitoring and mitigation, Dr. Jitendra Singh informed that the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC), formed in 1993, is considered the most recognised body dealing with space debris monitoring and mitigation matters.
ISRO under the Department of Space has been a member of IADC since 1996.
On end-of-life disposal of satellites, Dr. Jitendra Singh said the Indian Space Policy mandates adoption of internationally recognised guidelines on space debris mitigation, including measures relating to end-of-life disposal, in the Indian space programme.
