Abstract
As the development and research work in space is greatly increasing now a days, more and more rockets, satellites, and spacecraft are made to sent in space for the various purposes, which work for proposed years and some of those also may fail to work but they are physically present in the orbit as a junk although they are not for any kind of further use and functioning these are called space debris or orbital debris it includes old satellites, spent stages of rockets, damaged parts of spacecraft’s etc. This space debris is increasing very fast in the space and there are chances to get damaged of our working satellites by this debris. So it is compulsory and necessary to track and safe disposal of them to avoid in future accidents and other harmful activities in space. In this paper our focus will be on various safe disposal technologies that may use to dispose space debris.
