Event Information:

Satellites play many essential roles, from communications and navigation to Earth imaging in support of agriculture, fishing, forestry, disaster relief, environmental science, surveillance and security. Yet satellites are threatened by their own increasing numbers, as well as an accumulation of debris such as leftover rockets, defunct satellites, and fragments from in-orbit breakups and collisions.
