Donald J. Kessler is a prominent figure in the field of space debris research. He is best known for his work on the "Kessler Syndrome," a theoretical scenario he proposed in 1978, which describes a cascading effect of space debris collisions in low Earth orbit. According to this concept, an increasing amount of debris could lead to more frequent collisions, creating even more debris and potentially making certain orbits unusable for future spacecraft.
