It fell in the ocean and drifted towards Australia. So, no, Australia has no grounds to fault India. Also, isn't it better to let space junk fall to the oceans then let it drift in space around Earth for decades?
- ehnto 3y agoEh, Australia can fault the space agency if they want. Probably not reasonable right now. If we intend to increase space activity though, I think it would be fair to expect debris gets cleaned up. It hasn't mattered before as we just weren't that active in space, but with 40,000+ minisats expected to de-orbit continuously from now on maybe it's worth thinking about.
- jacquesm 3y agoMinisats will likely completely burn up though.
