        The Indian Space Research Organisation on Wednesday and the wild applause was soon followed by growing mutterings about India's space agency adding to space junk. However, it's irrational to blame the agency. If anything, carrying multiple payloads lowers orbital debris as each rocket used to send satellites to space also adds to the space junk. for launches because its proximity to the Equator gives the rockets an extra velocity kick into space so they use less fuel to launch heavier payloads. And unlike space tourism, satellites serve a practical purpose, providing data that support communication, navigation, scientific research, weather observation, military support, earth imaging, among others. Each time you navigate using global positioning system (GPS), for example, you use a group of more than 20 satellites that determine where you are. ISRO has developed the models and software for statistical an*lysis of risk due to space debris and close approach of debris to the functional satellites and to prevent in-orbit break-up by designing spacecraft to be not susceptible to on-orbit explosion, said an ISRO scientist, who did not want to be named. NASA's computer-generated images of objects currently in the Earth's orbit. About 95% of the objects in the illustrations are space junk (not-functional satellites). The GEO images use a distant oblique vantage point to provide an overview of the orbital debris in the geosynchronous region (35,785 km altitude). (NASA) Space junk Since the launch of the first artificial satellite Sputnik 1 by the former Soviet Union in 1957, dozens of countries have launched satellites, with close to 3,000 working satellites still orbiting the Earth. These functional satellites are just a fraction of the than 500,000 pieces of dead satellites ranging from the size of a marble to much bigger machines that continue to orbit the Earth. There are many millions of smaller pieces of dead spacecraft, abandoned launch vehicle stages, mission-related debris and fragmentation debris
