==== ISRO System for Safe and Sustainable Space Operations Management ==== On 7 March 2023, ISRO System for Safe and Sustainable Space Operations Management (IS4OM) conducted successful controlled re-entry of decommissioned satellite [[Megha-Tropiques]] after firing four on-board 11 Newton thrusters for 20 minutes each. A series of 20 manoeuvres were performed since August 2022 by spending 120 kg fuel. The final telemetry data confirmed disintegtration over Pacific Ocean. It was part of a compliance effort following international guidelines on space debris mitigation.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kumar |first=Chethan |date=2023-03-07 |title=Isro successfully completes controlled re-entry of decommissioned satellite Megha-Tropiques |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/science/isro-successfully-completes-controlled-re-entry-of-decommissioned-satellite-megha-tropiques/articleshow/98482698.cms |access-date=2023-03-08 |issn=0971-8257 |archive-date=8 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230308073436/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/science/isro-successfully-completes-controlled-re-entry-of-decommissioned-satellite-megha-tropiques/articleshow/98482698.cms |url-status=live }}</ref> Speaking at the 42nd annual meeting of the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) in Bengaluru, [[S.
