Isro's meticulous monitoring prevented a potential collision between Chandrayaan-3 and space debris moments before its July 2023 launch. Detected debris threatened the mission's trajectory, prompting a last-minute adjustment delaying liftoff by four seconds. This decision, based on Collision Avoidance Analysis, ensured the spacecraft's safe passage to the Moon. Isro's adeptness in proactive space management shines through, with 23 collision avoidance maneuvers conducted in 2023. The incident underscores the challenges of space debris and showcases Isro's commitment to space safety through advanced technologies and strategic planning.
