Programs that deal with the objects crowding Earth orbit, either by tracking and cataloguing them or by developing the means to remove them. They include Project NETRA of the Indian Space Research Organisation, which monitors orbital debris and near-Earth objects to protect Indian satellites, and PRELUDE, a pair of CubeSat-class satellites built by ClearSpace for the European Space Agency to demonstrate satellite servicing and active debris removal. A program belongs here when its cited article names space debris, space situational awareness or on-orbit servicing as its purpose.
