Asteroid Day: A New Focus on Space Infrastructure

For years, experts in astronomy and public policy have devised strategies to shield Earth from potentially catastrophic asteroid impacts. However, a fresh concern has emerged: the safety of the numerous satellites being launched into orbit.

With thousands of satellites currently in orbit, safeguarding them from asteroid collisions is becoming increasingly important.
