Why does that matter? Because space junk is a growing crisis, and ISRO is showing how smart timing can reduce orbital clutter. Most rocket stages hang around for decades; this one was gone before your next pay raise. Launched Nov 2025, it was deliberately timed so its orbit decayed faster. Even the US Space Command was watching. And get this; ISRO’s own guidelines say rocket bodies should vanish in 5 years. They beat that by a mile. This isn’t just space tech; it’s responsible space tech. And if you’re preparing for UPSC or ISRO exams, this is the kind of innovation they’ll ask about. The future of space isn’t just rockets; it’s responsible rocketry.
