What is Kessler Syndrome and why it could lead to a potential space disaster
Thousands of satellites and rockets have contributed to an increasing accumulation of space debris, posing significant risks. The Kessler Syndrome, a hypothetical scenario proposed by NASA scientist Donald Kessler in 1978, describes how space junk could create a cascading chain of collisions, jeopardizing satellite operations and space exploration efforts for future generations.
