The increase in the number of RSOs (Resident Space Objects) indirectly increases the risk of collision of LEO Satellites.

Here's a snippet depicting the scale of the problem (Credits to LeoLabs):

-
The important point to be addressed here is the reliable and accurate orbit tracking of satellites to prevent a catastrophic event like the Kessler Syndrome.
-
This project is an experiment on predicting and forecasting the position of a satellite orbiting earth using Deep Learning (LSTM).
-
The LSTM model is trained on the data recorded over 18days and forecasts the trajectory for the next seven days.
