INTERNATIONAL APPROACHES TO REDUCING SPACE DEBRIS
More than 22,000 pieces of trackable space junk are in orbit, and the number grows each year as more and more nations place satellites on orbit. The risk of collision is increasing and could affect any or all players. The entrance of many non-traditional or “New Space” players will have broad implications for U.S. government agencies as they address increased space traffic and its related debris.
Join the Center for Space Policy and Strategy to address the state of orbital debris today — is it a bigger threat than imagined, or perhaps overhyped? Are we on the right path for monitoring and managing on orbit objects? How can the U.S. and other countries collaborate to manage this issue and related challenges in this new space age?
