There has been immense technological development in the space sector in the past few decades, which has created a situation where the sustainability of the space sector is in question. Space preservation becomes even more pivotal as it is intrinsically linked with our future; hence, this paper aims to explore the intricate nuances of space exploration and the subsequent debris generated from it, the Indian perspective, and the role played by the international legal system. This paper also reflects the failure of international law and the means that could be employed to redress the issue. The paper also presents a point of view of the third-world economies and argues for not only a sustainable space but for a consensus where the management of space debris also allows for equality.
