China Bolsters Space Debris Measures for Tiangong Space Station

China has outlined plans to strengthen its space debris management protocols for the Tiangong space station following a partial loss of power caused by debris impact on its solar panels. This move follows successful spacewalks by astronauts during the Shenzhou 17 mission and highlights the growing concerns over space debris threats posed by micrometeoroids and human activities in orbit. To address this, China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) will enhance its debris tracking capabilities, optimize collision warning procedures, and install protective reinforcements on Tiangong.
