"ISRO has taken measures to protect its operational satellites from space debris by carrying out collision avoidance studies for all launch vehicles of ISRO to clear lift-off time; and space object proximity analysis on a daily basis to assess close conjunction with other space objects, in particular, of those objects identified by Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC)," Jitendra Singh, junior minister of the space department, said on Wednesday.
Former ISRO chairman G Madhavan Nair had warned that launching foreign nano satellites into 500-km orbits may pose harm to the present and future Earth observation satellites close to their lanes.
India will soon come up with a National Space Act for supporting the overall growth of space activities with increased level of private participation.
