The invisible highways of Earth are becoming dangerously crowded
In short: Most objects launched into orbit never return, creating a growing problem of space debris. Moriba Jah explores the necessity of monitoring these orbital highways and introduces a pioneering crowdsourced approach to managing our celestial traffic.
Astrodynamicist Moriba Jah highlights the escalating issue of space junk populating the orbits around our planet. Because the majority of space-bound cargo remains in orbit indefinitely, these 'space highways' face increasing congestion.
To address this, Jah is developing and scaling the world's first crowdsourced space traffic monitoring system. This initiative aims to provide a scalable solution to the debris problem in near-Earth space by leveraging collective data to track orbital objects.
