Project NETRA, the Network for space object TRacking and Analysis, is an indigenous space situational awareness initiative of the Indian Space Research Organisation. It was announced publicly in September 2019. The programme is meant to give India an independent capability to monitor, catalogue and predict the movement of orbital debris and near-Earth objects that could endanger Indian satellites. By building its own tracking and analysis network, India aims to reduce reliance on foreign space surveillance data when protecting its spacecraft in orbit.
