The space exploration has seen a rapid boost in the past years because of the swift advancement of technology. This has resulted in the congestion of the most used orbits i.e. “Low Earth Orbit and Geostationary Orbit” with satellites. The paper relies upon secondary data and has analyzed space debris statistics and space treaties to study the threat that hinders future space exploration posing a risk of cascading effect known as Kessler Syndrome. Though they are international space treaties regulating space missions, they are not compatible for the present needs due to their non-binding feature. The paper explores mitigation strategies including collision avoidance and satellite reentry techniques, use of graveyard orbit to reduce space junks. Also, the paper recommends establishing a space tribunal, scrapping outdated laws and opting for multi-mission satellites to ensure sustainability of space exploration.
