TED Fellow Moriba Jah studies and predicts the motion of objects in space in an effort to make space safe, secure and sustainable.

Why you should listen

All kinds of junk are floating around in space -- old satellites, rockets, other man-made debris -- that pose an increasing danger to space missions. Astrodynamicist Moriba Jah monitors this orbital debris with ASTRIAGraph, a software that tracks the positions and speeds of objects in Earth’s orbit.

His ultimate goal is to make space safe, secure and sustainable.
