Episode Chilbolton Observatory Tracks the Growing Threat of Space Junk
Chilbolton Observatory is helping protect Earth’s increasingly crowded orbital environment. Using powerful radar, scientists track thousands of pieces of space debris, monitor satellite collision risks, and support warnings that protect critical space infrastructure. The observatory also contributes to planetary defense by tracking near-Earth asteroids and assessing potential threats. As satellite constellations rapidly expand, continuous monitoring is becoming essential for keeping space safe and sustainable.
