“…Mc Knight suggests that all satellites >400 km must have propulsive collision avoidance capability. 32 Furthermore, although it has been argued that the soft law threshold of 25-year post-mission orbital time should be reduced to 5 years, Mc Knight notes that reducing the 25-year rule to, for example, a 5-year rule, only leads to another 10% reduction over 200 years, which is statistically insignificant. 32 Hence, the requirement of postmission disposal plan ought to be mandatory if there is to be a serious mitigation regime.…”

All of these codes of conducts and standardizations can be negotiated through joint efforts of bodies such as the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UN-COUPUOS), International Telecommunications Union (ITU), and IADC.…”

Toward the Sustainability of Outer Space: Addressing the Issue of Space Debris

et al. 2021

The legacy of >50 years of human space faring has brought impressive technical and scientific achievements; however, it has also led to the growing population of space debris. These objects serve no useful purpose in space, but instead place man, the Earth, and useful space objects at risk. This article examines the policy gaps associated with addressing the problem of space debris, including the absence of international legal framework, responsibility and liability for debris creation, and identification of debris as separate from space objects. It goes on to proffer solutions addressing this policy gap, which include the adaptation of environmental law principles, a definition of space debris under international law, and a workable remediation regime.
