Why the question: The question is part of the static syllabus of General studies paper – 3 and mentioned as part of Mission-2022 Secure timetable. Key Demand of the question: To understand how space debris is created and ways to avoid them. Directive word: Examine – When asked to ‘Examine’, we must investigate the topic (content words) in detail, inspect it, investigate it and establish the key facts and issues related to the topic in question. While doing so we should explain why these facts and issues are important and their implications. Structure of the answer: Introduction: Begin by stating the what is a space debris. Body: Explain the various factors leading to production of space debris such as routine space activities and testing or use of destructive anti-satellite weapons. Also, mention the threat posed by space debris to satellites especially to those in the lower earth orbits. Next, write about international policy on space debris management needs to be put in place mainly to reduce the debris due to routine activity and also destructive testing should go through a rigorous regulation and taking responsibilities by countries who create the debris. Conclusion: Conclude by writing measures for effective management of Space Debris.
