at Chanakya Auditorium. Management students gathered to view this thought-provoking documentary that addresses the critical issue of space debris and its potential consequences for satellite technology and space exploration. The film comprehensively explores the growing space junk crisis, examining the uncontrolled accumulation of defunct satellites, rocket fragments, and other space trash in Earth's orbit. It provides historical context on satellite launches while analyzing the exponential growth of non-functional satellites and the rapid expansion of satellite mega-constellations like Starlink and OneWeb that contribute to increased space congestion.

Through detailed technical analysis featuring graphics and expert commentary, the documentary explains satellite structures, launch vehicles, and orbital paths while highlighting past satellite collisions, near-miss events, and the alarming frequency of orbital congestion. The film warns about the potential Kessler Syndrome—a scenario where cascading satellite crashes could render Earth's orbit unusable for future missions. It also examines the geopolitical dimensions of space exploration, reviewing the competitive space race between nations and commercial entities. Various experimental debris removal methods are presented, including laser-based deflection, robotic arms, and space tugs, while highlighting the regulatory challenges stemming from the lack of binding global agreements and financial incentives for space debris clean-up.

Following the screening, attendees participated in an interactive session with the film director, Shri O.P. Srivastava, who discussed Return on Investment in the Film Business. This educational event provided students with valuable insights into the hidden environmental crisis developing in Earth's orbit and its potential impact on technologies we rely on daily, including communications, GPS navigation, and weather forecasting. "The Dirty Sky" serves as an urgent appeal to governments, commercial space companies, and the public to recognize and address this environmental crisis in space before it reaches a point of no return.
