Space Traffic Police – OrCo

Scientists at IIIT Delhi made a web tool called OrCo. It works like a traffic policeman 🚦 in space, making sure satellites don’t bump into each other. The term “Space Traffic Police” is a common metaphor for the need for global regulation and enforcement in space, a concept that is still under development, though the U.S. government has been exploring different models for civil space traffic management.  

💡 Think: What would happen if two satellites crashed?
