ISRO
ISRO carried out 23 collision avoidance manoeuvres (CAM) in 2023 to protect its satellites from potential collisions. It received approximately 137,565 close approach alerts from the US Space Command. Among these, 3,033 cases involved satellites passing within 1 km of each other. The growing presence of mega constellations, space tourism, and extended human activities in space has heightened the risk of collisions.
